    • Sugar Snap Peas

    Crockpot London Broil

    This easy crockpot London broil recipe is tender and delicious! It can be started with just 10 minutes prep in the morning and ignored all day until you are ready to eat. If you’d like gravy, prepare it with the drippings just before serving, or use the drippings for an au jus for dipping.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 pounds London broil
    • salt and pepper, to taste
    • 1 clove garlic, sliced
    • 1 onion, sliced
    • ¾ cup water
    • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Season London broil with salt and pepper.
    • Make small slits in the roast and insert slices of garlic cloves.
    • Place about half of the sliced onion in the crock-pot and put roast on top of onions. Top roast with the remaining ingredients except onion. Arrange the remaining onion slices on top of the roast.
    • Cover and cook on low for about 8-10 hours (time varies with individual crockpots, see notes).
    • When roast is tender and ready to serve, place on a serving platter. Let rest until internal temperature is about 120°F before slicing.
    • Serve with the juices or make a gravy if desired.
    • To make gravy, blend 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Form a smooth paste. Pour drippings from crockpot pan into a saucepan and add cornstarch mixture, whisking until smooth. Continue cooking at a simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened.

    Notes

    1. For slicing, make sure your knife is sharp, and/or use a serrated knife. 
    2. Very tender meat holds its shape better if it is sliced when cold, so to use leftovers in stirfry, make sure you leave the leftover roast unsliced and slice it when it is cold just before preparing the stirfry.
    3. For gravy, be sure to use cool water when mixing the cornstarch slurry.
    4. Make sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce if you are following a gluten-free diet. Otherwise, this recipe is gluten-free.
    5. If you have leftovers, try our popular delicious Beef and Broccoli Stirfry recipe!

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 tablespoons oil

    • ½ pound medium shrimp, peeled
    • 8 tortillas

    Marinade

    Instructions

    • Combine marinade ingredients and marinate beef and chicken for one hour.
    • Remove the chicken and beef from the marinade and drain well. Discard the marinade.
    • Sauté beef, chicken, peppers, and onion in a large skillet in heated oil.

    Notes

    Feel free to switch this up and serve any combination of meat that you prefer.
    Whether or not to devein shrimp is a personal preference and is not necessary for food safety reasons. Most frozen shrimp is already deveined.
    If you prefer, you can cook the meat and vegetables on the grill to avoid heating up the kitchen. I like to toss the meat and vegetables with the oil before cooking, and cook them in a preheated grill on a clean vegetable grate prepared with non-stick spray.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1.5 lbs beef, chopped up
    • ¼ C. butter
    • 2 quarts water
    • 1 tsp. pepper
    • 1 Tbsp. salt, or to taste
    • 1 ½ C. chopped carrots
    • 3 medium sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
    • 1 C. chopped celery
    • 2 chopped onions
    • 6 cubes of beef bouillon
    • 14 ounces can stewed tomatoes
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Brown the meat in butter and add to crock-pot.
    • Add all other ingredients.
    • Cook on low for 8 hours.
    • Before serving, add additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.

    Notes

    If you prefer, the soup may be cooked in a large pot on the stove over low heat for 2 to 3 hours.
    If you are using leftover roast beef that is already cooked, you can omit the butter and skip sautéing the beef. Just chop the roast beef and add it directly to the crockpot.
    For easier prep, try using frozen hash browns instead of cubing the potatoes. With this shortcut, add the hash browns later in the cooking process so they stay firm. An hour or two before serving would be best, depending on how hot your crockpot cooks.
