Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds London broil or other lean beef roast
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (or oil of choice)
  • 2 teaspoon dry thyme
  • 2 teaspoon dry marjoram
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup French fried onions (like Durkee - I used a store brand), lightly crushed
  • 2 cups beef broth (or chicken)

Instructions

  • Turn crock pot to high heat and add oil to bottom.
  • Place London broil on top of oil move it around a bit to coat, then flip over.
  • Add thyme, marjoram, salt, pepper, fried onions, and broth. Mix around a bit to coat.
  • Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours or low 6-8 hours, checking every few hours if you're home (don't worry if you can't check - it won't burn). Make sure to cook until fork tender, even if you need to cook longer than stated.
  • Once meat is cooked and tender, turn off heat and let sit uncovered for 5 minutes or so for gravy to thicken slightly.
  • Serve on a platter with the gravy, slicing portion sizes for each plate. Serve with the broccoli pictured or other vegetable of choice. Serve over potatoes, rice, or noodles if desired.

Notes

  • The roast is done with the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • No need to brown the meat on the stove top before adding to the slow cooker.
  • If you don't have fried onions, you can use a packet of dry onion soup mix, or you can chop up a fresh onion and add ¼ cup flour (to thicken the broth).
  • London broil is also called top round, top blade, or flank steak. Can use any lean, very-little-fat roast.
