Ingredients
Scale
Marinade and Meat
- 2 pounds London broil
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ cup beef broth (for marinade)
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- ½ tsp. dried rosemary
- ½ tsp. dried thyme
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
Vegetables and Additional Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 potatoes, cut into chunks
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 cup beef broth (for slow cooker)
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ¾ cup beef broth, brown sugar, dried rosemary, dried thyme, black pepper, and olive oil until well combined.
- Marinate the Meat: Place the London broil in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over the meat ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to let the flavors penetrate.
- Sear the Meat: After marinating, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the London broil on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side to lock in flavors and create a browned crust, then transfer the meat to the slow cooker.
- Add Vegetables: Arrange the sliced onion, carrot chunks, potato chunks, and whole garlic cloves around the London broil in the slow cooker for an infused flavor and hearty accompaniment.
- Add Broth: Pour the remaining 1 cup of beef broth over the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring the liquid covers about halfway up the meat.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and vegetables are cooked through.
- Rest the Meat: Carefully remove the London broil from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain to maximize tenderness.
- Make the Sauce (Optional): Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan. Mix cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry, then add it to the saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Serve: Slice the London broil and serve alongside the cooked vegetables, drizzled with the thickened sauce for a delicious, complete meal.
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the meat overnight.
- Searing the meat before slow cooking helps develop deeper flavors and a better texture.
- The cornstarch slurry is optional but recommended if you prefer a thicker sauce.
- If you don’t have beef broth, you can substitute with beef stock or a mixture of water and beef bouillon.
- Resting the meat after cooking ensures juices redistribute for a moist, tender bite.
