- 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)
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.
- 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.
