Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 3 Pound London Broil Roast
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Searing Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Avocado oil
- 1 Small onion, diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
Balsamic Gravy
- 1/2 Cup Beef broth
- 2 Tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 Tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Brown sugar (use sugar free for keto option)
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
- Season the London Broil: Generously season both sides of the 3-pound London broil roast with kosher salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage to enhance flavor throughout the cooking process.
- Sear the Roast: Using the sear function on your slow cooker or a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of avocado oil until melted and hot. Sear the London broil for a few minutes on each side until well browned, which locks in juices and adds a rich flavor.
- Add Aromatics: Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker if not already there. Add the diced small onion and minced garlic cloves on and around the roast to infuse the meat with savory depth.
- Prepare the Balsamic Gravy: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the roast and aromatics in the slow cooker.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook the roast on low heat for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender enough to shred.
- Serve: When cooking is complete, shred the meat using two forks. Serve warm with your choice of mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower, spooning the balsamic gravy over the top for delicious extra flavor.
Notes
- For a keto-friendly version, substitute brown sugar with a sugar-free sweetener like erythritol.
- Make sure to sear the roast to get a rich crust; this step greatly improves the final flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the slow cooker for additional aroma and taste.
- This recipe pairs excellently with mashed potatoes, mashed cauliflower, or crusty bread to soak up the balsamic gravy.
