How to Cook Crock Pot London Broil
London Broil Roast is one of those cuts of meat that can be super tasty or fork tender. It all depends on how you cook it. Grilling London Broil and cooking London Broil in the oven are some of the ways that can make really delicious recipes. After trying this recipe, you may think that the slow cooker is the best way to cook London Broil.
Why This Recipe Works
Some of the things we love about this dish are that it is:
- Super Easy to make. This really is a one pot London Broil recipe. These are some of the easiest recipes to make because they do not involve a lot of complicated steps.
- Quick to prepare. Searing the meat, cutting the onions and garlic, and preparing the sauce can all be done in under 10 minutes. Put the London Broil in a Crock Pot or slow cooker and let it do the work.
- Great for any time of year. When the weather is warmer, we love to grill London Broil outside. During the colder months, it can be a pain to do any kind of outdoor cooking. Slow cookers like a Crock Pot or Instant Pot make recipes like this a snap any time of the year.
- Easy to store. You can serve the London Broil right from the Crock Pot and then just put the lid on and store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. If you want, you can even make this recipe in advance and freeze it for up to 6 months.
Instructions for Making Slow Cooker London Broil step by step:
Step 1 - Sear the meat
Sprinkle salt and pepper over all surfaces of your roast. Over a medium/high flame sear all sides of the meat for about 2 minutes on each side. You are just looking for a golden brown crust and not to cook the meat all the way through.
Step 2 - Load up the slow cooker
Cut the onions into 8-10 pieces each and toss them into the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the garlic cloves in whole and then place the seared London Broil roast on top.
Step 3 - Make the sauce.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wine, one cup chicken broth or one cup beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme sprigs. (If you have some of our Shabbat Chicken Soup, that is perfect to use for the broth in this recipe). Pour over the meat in the slow cooker and set to low for 8 hours. If you are making this for Shabbat or Yom Tov lunch, the slow cooker can stay on warm until ready to serve.
Crock Pot London Broil Recipe FAQ
London Broil is a way of preparing a meat recipe and does not refer to the cut of meat. That being said, most kosher markets will sell cuts of meat called "London Broil." Those cuts can also be called flank or top round. Top round is not a kosher cut of beef so you are probably being sold a flank steak.
A lot of London Broil recipes can come out tough if they are not cooked correctly. The cuts sold as London Broil are generally leaner cuts of beef without a lot of intramuscular fat and can dry out if they are overcooked. This recipe cooks the meat low and slow with plenty of liquid which helps to keep it moist and juicy.
Serving suggestions
- London Broil with Potatoes and Carrots. Serve the slow cooked meat along side cooked carrots and potatoes. We suggest our Mashed Potatoes without Milk and Rum and Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots.
- Spice it up! Add ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sauce before you pour it over the seared meat.
- Shredded London Broil Sandwiches. Remove the London Broil from the Instant Pot and shred with two forks. Serve it on a bun and use the leftover gravy as au jus.
How to Store Slow Cooker London Broil
Storage could not be easier. Crock Pots are nice because they often provide their own storage solution. Let the meat and sauce cool and then just put the lid back on and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
If you are trying to save space in your refrigerator, you can pour the juices from the Crock Pot into an airtight plastic bag and place the leftover meat inside as well. This will keep the London Broil pieces moist and tender. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
