Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Marinade
- 2 to 2.5 pounds London broil beef
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Vegetables
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 medium carrots, cut into chunks
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the London broil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned to seal in the flavor.
- Layer the vegetables: Place the sliced onions, carrot chunks, and halved baby potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot to create a flavorful base for the beef.
- Arrange the beef: Lay the seared London broil on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.
- Mix the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and dried thyme until well combined.
- Pour and cook: Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shreds.
- Finish and serve: Remove the beef from the crock pot, slice or shred it as desired, and then return it to the pot to coat in the rich gravy before serving hot.
Notes
- For extra richness, add a tablespoon of butter at the end of cooking for a creamier gravy.
- Substitute red potatoes or add mushrooms to the vegetables for additional flavor and variety.
- If a thicker gravy is preferred, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the crock pot during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
