Most people love to cook London broil on the grill. It’s usually the go-to choice for family barbecues in the middle of summer! But sometimes the meat can be tough and chewy. Let me show you how I recently cooked this very popular cut of meat using my crock pot. The result was a tender, juicy, delicious recipe that our whole family loved.
Crock Pot London Broil
Recently, London broil was on sale at our local grocery store. I purchased a package and placed it in the freezer only to find it a few months later in the middle of a snow storm. There was no way I could get to my grill with all the snow.
I really didn’t want to put it in the oven to make the meat even tougher. Therefore, I pulled out my crock pot and slowly cooked it all day. The result was an amazing tender piece of meat that made a fabulous meal.
This post has been updated from when it first appeared on my site in 2015 with new photos and a new printable recipe card.
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.
A lot of people cook London broil on the grill. However, I have never been able to master grilling this particular cut of meat. Believe me, I have tried!
