Slow Cooker London Broil
Slow Cooker London Broil is one of those comforting dinners that turns an affordable cut of beef into a meal everyone looks forward to. The long, gentle cooking process creates fork-tender London broil with a rich, flavorful broth that’s perfect for spooning over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. Whether you’re feeding the family on a busy weeknight or making a cozy Sunday dinner, this slow cooker London broil recipe delivers big flavor with very little hands-on time.
– London broil isn’t always a specific cut of beef. It may be top round steak, flank steak, bottom round, or another good cut of meat that’s labeled as London broil.
– Replace the ketchup with tomato paste if you’d like a richer tomato flavor.
– Instead of red wine vinegar, use a splash of red wine or tart cherry juice.
– Add red potatoes or sweet potatoes directly to the slow cooker for a complete meal.
– You can also add brown sugar if you prefer a slightly sweeter gravy.
You can, but seared meat develops much richer flavor. It’s worth the extra few minutes.
