Beef top round london broil crock pot

I think I found my favorite way to cook steak in the crock pot today. I decided to make our favorite London Broil Roast in a Crock Pot. Crock Pot London Broil turns out so moist and tender cooked in the slow cooker.

My old favorite recipe for London Broil is to roast it with potatoes and carrots in a roasting pan that has been tightly wrapped in aluminum foil.

It was the best way to cook London broil.

 I make a pork loin this way.

I even roast a Thanksgiving Turkey breast this way.

The aluminum foil traps all the moisture in the pan and the meat turns out fall apart tender.

Now I am not so sure I will ever roast meat that way again.

I keep trying to find new crock pot recipes to cook.

I converted my mother's meatloaf recipe into a Crock Pot Meatloaf recipe.

Let's get to the Crock Pot London Broil recipe.

That's what you're here for, right?

How to make Crock Pot London Broil

Like most crock pot recipes, this is a dump it and forget it recipe.

You will need a nice piece of London Broil, baby red potatoes, baby carrots, beef broth, an onion, garlic, a couple of bay leaves and a 6-quart crock pot.

 

I like to brown beef before I add it to the crock pot but this step can be skipped if you don't feel like doing it.

But it does give the meat a nice color.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a skillet on high. Place the London broil in and brown the first side.

Flip it over to brown the other side.

Place the London Broil into the bottom of an (affiliate link)  6 quart crock pot and lay the sliced onion and garlic cloves on top of the roast.

Salt and pepper the top of the meat and onion slices.

Next add the baby red potatoes, baby carrots, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.

Pour the beef broth in around the London broil.

Put the lid on the crock pot and cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.

Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork.

If they are still a little firm cook another 30 minutes.

To make a gravy mix the water and cornstarch.

Pour it into the crock pot and return the lid.

Cook another 15-30 minutes on high to thicken the gravy.

You could also remove the London broil and vegetables and ladle the liquid into a small saucepan and bring to a boil until thickened.

Place the London Broil on a serving platter and carve.

Nestle the potatoes and carrots around the roast.
