A Tender London Broil Just Needs Some Time

As much as I like beef, prices are not exactly encouraging to indulging in more than the usual ground variety. Sound familiar?

Recently, however, I decided to see what was affordable, and interesting, at my local market and came across London Broil.

Actually “London Broil” is more of a preparation or a recipe rather than an actual cut, but my market labels round steak as London Broil to make it easier for customers to find. The cut is usually a tough flank or round steak that might be marinated and then prepared. While this can be quite tasty, I’ve not had a lot of success using the traditional method or preparation. Hence, the slow cooker.

Notes

This cut of beef is very tough which makes it a perfect candidate for the slow cooker.
Serve over noodles, potatoes or rice. and use the sauce as a gravy.

I set mine up before I head to bed, knowing that the delicious smell might keep me awake.

After 10 hours the meat is tender and juicy and there is just enough gravy to add to the meal.

Granted beef still isn’t <cough> inexpensive, but you can still make a wonderful meal without going broke.

Enjoy!
