The optional cornstarch-thickened sauce adds a savory finishing touch, making it an ideal set-it-and-forget-it dinner for busy days.


Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Marinade

  • 2 pounds London broil
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ¾ cup beef broth, divided (¾ cup for marinade, 1 cup for cooking)
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp. dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 4 garlic cloves

Optional for Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ¾ cup beef broth, brown sugar, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and olive oil until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Meat: Place the London broil in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the meat is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow deep flavor infusion.
  3. Sear the London Broil: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the London broil for 2-3 minutes per side to lock in juices and develop a rich crust. Then transfer the meat to the slow cooker.
  4. Add Vegetables: Arrange the sliced onion, carrot chunks, potato chunks, and whole garlic cloves around the London broil inside the slow cooker to cook alongside the meat.
  5. Add Cooking Liquid: Pour the remaining 1 cup of beef broth over the meat and vegetables so the liquid comes halfway up the side of the meat, ensuring everything stays moist during cooking.
  6. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the London broil is exceptionally tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  7. Rest and Slice: Remove the cooked London broil from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to redistribute juices, then slice it thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  8. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan. Mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the liquid and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistency.
  9. Serve: Plate the sliced London broil with the cooked vegetables and drizzle with the thickened sauce for a flavorful, hearty meal.

Notes

  • Marinating overnight enhances the meat’s flavor and tenderness.
  • Searing the meat before slow cooking locks in juices and improves texture.
  • The sauce thickened with cornstarch is optional but adds a silky finish.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt level in the dish.
  • Resting the meat before slicing helps maintain juiciness and tenderness.
