London broil is one of my family's favorite cuts of beef to grill during the summer. When they're on sale, I always purchase a few to work into my Weekly Meal Plans.
I found one in my freezer recently and knew I had to use it, however, there was no way I could get to my grill with all the snow currently falling outside.
And I knew baking it in the oven would make the meat the tough. And we hate tough meat!
Therefore, I pulled out my crock pot and slowly cooked it all day. I served it with mashed potatoes and jalapeno corn muffins, for an amazing tender piece of meat that made a fabulous meal.

Is London Broil a Good Cut of Meat?
Yes and no. Traditionally speaking, London broil is a great money-saving option for family meals. Especially if you're cooking for a large family or you're on a budget.
However, because it's a lean muscle cut, it also tends to be tougher due to its low fat content.

- 1 ½ pound London Broil
- Vegetable oil
- Beef broth
- Sliced onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped garlic
Cooking Tip
Prepare a "slurry" to help thicken the broth towards the end of cooking by whisking together a tablespoon of flour and a few tablespoons of cold liquid.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil to a large skillet and brown the London broil on both sides; seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Remove the London broil from the skillet and place in the crock pot, followed by the onions, garlic and beef broth.
Step 3: Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for six hours. Remove the meat from the crock pot when it is tender that a knife can easily be inserted into the middle.
Step 4: Add the cornstarch and water mixture to the crock pot and continue to cook for another 15 to 20 minutes or until the broth thickens.
Step 5: Slice the London broil and place on a platter. Serve with the gravy and onions on top.

Recipe FAQ's
Is London Broil the same as pot roast?
The answer to this question is no. London Broil is different from pot roast because it has very little fat. Which is why most people cook it on the grill.
Will beef get more tender the longer you cook it?
When you usually cook London broil over direct heat, such as grilling, the high heat makes the meat more firm and it will dry out if you cook it too long. However, if you cook meat in the crock pot with liquid, it adds moisture to the cooking and will make the meat more tender the longer you cook it. Which is why this crock pot London broil recipe is so delicious!
Serving Tips
Slice the London broil thin before serving. I like to saute onions in butter and Worcestershire sauce until translucent. You can also add chopped mushrooms and saute those with the onions as well.
Make slider sandwiches with the cooked crock pot London Broil. Using two forks, shred the beef when it's done cooking and then add it to small rolls and top with barbecue sauce.
Use any leftovers to create a delicious Steak Sandwich for another meal later in the week!
Storage Tips
Before storing any leftovers, allow them to cool slightly. Then, place the meat in an airtight container and cover it with some of the gravy from the crockpot to help it stay moist. Store the container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing Tips
Let the meat cool completely, then slice or shred the meat if you'd like. Place the meat in a freezer-safe container or bag and add some gravy to keep it moist. Seal the container, removing excess air, and label it with the contents and date. Freeze for up to 2-3 months.
Thawing and Reheating Tips
When ready to eat, thaw the London broil in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it thoroughly before serving.
When you want to enjoy the leftovers, make sure to reheat the London broil thoroughly before serving.

Gosh! This looks delicious! Who knew it could be so easy. If I stray from the typical ground beef, I'm lost when it comes to how to prepare the different cuts. Thanks for the recipe!
I'd love for you to share it on Something To Talk About link party.
