This is a quick and delicious recipe for a London broil tofu marinade. The tangy and sweet marinade with fresh chopped rosemary gives tofu a western flair!
A western tofu recipe you will love! This is an easy tofu with London broil marinade that only takes 12 minutes to make and half an hour to marinate. A mix of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, black pepper and rosemary makes this a fragrant dish taste like you’ve just cooked tofu on a barbecue!
I used half of the London broil marinade to marinate the tofu and saved the other half as a sauce to add an extra coat of flavor to the tofu cubes.
It’s scrumptious and I guaranteed you’ve never had tofu like this before!
What is a London broil marinade?
London broil is a method and preparation for cooking steak. It usually involves hours of marinating a cut of meat and finishing it in an oven broiler or outdoor grill. The meat is then thinly sliced across the grain and usually is served quite rare. You can eat it as a main or add it to sandwiches, just like roast beef.
But since I don’t eat a lot of beef I wanted to try to ‘London broil’ tofu. I figured if the marinade is good, it doesn’t matter if those flavors are imparted on a piece of beef, chicken or tofu. Good is good right? And I was right!
The tofu paired really nicely with the London broil marinade – it came out tasting a little smoky, sweet, acidic with strong notes of woody, evergreen rosemary.
I usually eat tofu with rice but this London broil marinade preparation goes better with quinoa or a nice big salad on the side – western style!
Here are some ideas for pairing this yummy tofu with London broil marinade: pickled cucumber, mango and onion salad, crunchy quinoa salad with peach dressing, edamame quinoa salad, or a detox cleanse salad.

Thank you for this delicious recipe! My husband and I enjoyed it so much 🙂
Thank you so much Erin!
I replaced the honey with maple syrup and the Worcestershire with vegan Worcestershire. So yummy

Great, easy dinner! I will be making this again!
Recipe looks good, but attention, vegans! This recipe is NOT VEGAN as written. You will to substitute the Worchestershire sauce and honey to make it vegan. Black vinegar is a pretty good substitute for worchestershire, if you can find a vegan version. Agave or maple syrup can be used in place of the honey.
