Instructions
Season the beef with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sear 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the seared London broil to a 6-quart crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Saute until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add the onion soup mix packet, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine; pour the mixture over the London broil in the crockpot.
To the crockpot, add the potatoes, carrots, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs. Season with salt and pepper and pour over 1 cup of water. Give everything a good stir. Cover and cook on LOW 8-10 hours or HIGH 4-5 hours.
When ready to serve, transfer the beef to a carving board to rest. Spoon the vegetables onto a serving tray, leaving the broth behind.
Whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to form a slurry; whisk into the broth and gently stir to combine. Turn on HIGH and heat for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken.
Carve the beef and serve with the vegetables and gravy.
