I made London Broil yesterday for the first time in my life and it came out awful. I think the recipe I was following was not detailed enough on how to prep the meat, but whatever it is it is now too late.
How can I fix it so that it's edible? The inside is completely raw - not just rare, raw. And it is very tough and chewy
I sliced it and put it in the fridge for now. Can I cook it low and slow for awhile and will it soften up? Any ideas how to salvage this?

London Broil is supposed to be rare because if you cook it too long it toughens up.
You might not be slicing it correctly because it needs to be sliced AGAINST the grain or it is as tough as shoe leather.
Most recipes for London Broil marinate - to some extent marination adds flavor and also tenderizes a bit depending on ingredients
However I suspect that you are not slicing it correctly.

I have been experimenting with london broils and they are very tricky. Most of the time when I make it, it is too raw. I then slice it and reheat in the juices for a bit more time. It is still chewy, because as others say it is supposed to be eaten on the more raw side. With the juices we still really like it medium/rare.

How do you reheat?

I wrap it in a silver foil with the juices and but in the oven at 350 for 10-20 minutes or until it looks not raw anymore. I will be honest, sometimes it is still chewy and tough, but we eat it anyway. Not for guests.

Ok, I'll try that
I have some family coming, hopefully they won't be too judge
It was one of the cheaper options in the store, that's why I bought it. But so not worth it if we don't enjoy it

Here is an interesting option to tenderize
Will baking soda tenderize London broil?
Our first secret weapon is baking soda, which gets mixed in with a few other simple marinade ingredients. It may seem unorthodox, but it plays a crucial role in tenderizing the steak by relaxing its protein network, which keeps it nice and juicy while it cooks.
Here are good step by step illustrated/animated directions on how to slice a London Broil for tender results.
