Organize all of the ingredients – London Broil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, gf soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, baking soda, and unsalted butter.
The Marinade
Whisk together garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, gluten free soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl or baking dish. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Whisk in baking soda. The baking soda will cause the marinade to fizz. Prick London Broil all over with a fork. Pour marinade over the London Broil and turn to coat. Let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour or cover and chill till the next day. Flip London Broil occasionally in the marinade.
Grilling the London Broil
Season steak generously with kosher salt and place on a preheated grill on medium-high heat. Cook, turning once, until deeply browned on both sides, approx 12-14 minutes total for medium-rare OR until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125° for medium-rare. Cook 1-2 minutes longer for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
Making the Sauce
Meanwhile, transfer reserved marinade to a small saucepan, add water, and bring to a boil (mixture will foam). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid overflow, until foaming begins to subside, about 3 minutes. Add butter and whisk vigorously to emulsify sauce. Keep warm until ready to serve.
