Tender and delicious.I am not a big meat eater at all and I ate 2 helpings of this. I seasoned the meat first on both sides with salt, pepper and Grill Sensations Lemon Garlic seasoning, then I added the tomatoes and seasoned some more. I also added water to the pan. I will definitely make this again.
Read MoreI had left over homemade stewed tomatoes that I didn't want to go to waste so this recipe was great for that. The flavor was good but not sure how you can cook a london broil for 3 hours at 350. After 1.5 hours it was way over done. I guy in Texas thought it was the lack of humidity but I'm in PA and had the same problem. I have a separate thermometer in the oven too so the temp was correct.

This turned out great. Was very easy to prepare. Although I sliced onion and red peppers and placed on top of london broil then seasoned with a bunch of my favorite seasonings. Put about half a cup of water to the bottom of my roasting dish and cooked covered at 325 for about 3 hours. Yummy, tender and moist.
This was delicious and easy! I took the others suggestions and added 2 TBSP. Soy Sauce and I also used diced tomatoes, of which one can was a tomato and sweet onion mix which was perfect! The meat cooked up perfectly and was so tender! All of my kids loved it and went back for seconds, even my pickiest eater! I can't wait to pass this recipe on to my sister, mom and grandma, they are going to love it! Thanks!
I added 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, crushed black pepper, 2 teaspoons of italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons of A1 to the top of the meat and mashed it in. I also put the meat in a deep, oven safe dish so that the entire cut of meat was covered in the canned tomatos (I used diced tomatos). The meat came out very tender. It was excellent. We are going to have this again. I recommend green beans and orzo pasta with this.
You really need to like tomatoes for this recipe (which I do)! My kids however are a different story. I took another reviewers suggestion & made a heavy duty foil tent placing the ingredients inside & closing it really well (leave room for steam to circulate). I also cooked it at 325. Very moist & tender. I used petite diced tomatoes w/green chiles. When serving slice it as thin as you can. Really good! Made great sandwiches the next day.
This came out pretty good, if a little overdone. The tomato flavor was really intensified and I amd not sure I would use them again. I found it confusing that the directions said to roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours and yet the cook time in the description says 2 hours. (which is what I cooked it for) And it would be nice for the inexperienced cooks if the directions told you to put a lid on it. But ... it was still the the least tough london broil I've ever had and I will try this again with a different liquid for less time.
This is a very tasty recipe. We always get london broil on sale and I never know what to do with it especially when I don't want to get the grill going! You definitely have to cover this and add some more water to the pan. I added 1/2 cup water and ended up adding some more. I also cooked on 350 for 3 hours.
This simple recipe suprised me. The tomatoes enhanced the flavor of the london broil and made it taste more like a shoulder roast. Quite good.
I made this after I had taken advantage of a "Buy one, get one free" sale on London Broil. This was surprisingly quick and easy! The meat came out absolutely tender and if it had a bone, the meat would have fallen off!
I used this recipe today but I used a different sauce. I cooked the London Broil as directed, but my boyfriend hates tomatoes so I used a sauce from a different recipe. The sauce was 1 bottle of 8oz. italian dressing, 1 pkg of dry onion soup mix, 1/2 c. ketchup and one can (10.5oz.) beef gravy. Mix all together and you have an amazing marinade. I let the beef marinade in this over night and then I put it in a baking dish poured the marinade over top and put the foil on top and baked for 2 hours at 325 degrees. Turned out so tender and fantastic taste!!!
I had left over homemade stewed tomatoes that I didn't want to go to waste so this recipe was great for that. The flavor was good but not sure how you can cook a london broil for 3 hours at 350. After 1.5 hours it was way over done. I guy in Texas thought it was the lack of humidity but I'm in PA and had the same problem. I have a separate thermometer in the oven too so the temp was correct.
This was great!!! I made sure to cover with foil while baking. I poked meat all over with fork before adding tomatos to top of meat.I cooked this very slow on 250F for 3 1/2 hours for welldone. Moist, delicious and tender. I will make this again.
This was by far the best london broil I ever made. I used 1 can of beef broth and other spices to our liking. I marinaded it in a ziplock bag in the fridge for 2hrs. I also added fresh mushrooms to the bag and chopped garlic. I roasted it, covered w/tin foil tight, in the oven, at 350 for 2 1/2 hours.I would occasionaly stir the liquid to make sure the meat was covered. After 1 1/2hrs, I added 6 med red potatoes to the liquid. The last 45mins I covered it with stewed tomatoes. My husband said it was the best he ever had. Make sure the liquid covers the meat, that is the secret to its tenderness!
I could never get london broil to be tender, and this worked great! I used 1 small can of diced tomatoes with okra, 3 small sliced onions on top, cayenne, salt, added some burgundy wine, covered with heavy duty foil and cooked on 325F for 2,5 hours like others suggested. Tender and juicy, it will probably be the only way I will cook london broil from now on - any sauce can be used, possibilities are endless! This is extremely easy and no-fail recipe - THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I tried this recipe and followed the instructions exactly. It came out so tender. I've never eaten a london broil this tender. it was so tender that the meat just shred. This is my new recipe for london broils Thanks. Plus it is very afforable.
Oh my God ..I tried this recipe today and it was the most tender /juicy/delicious.. london broil I have ever made. I added a little seasoning to it of course..salt & pepper both sides..garlic salt..and steak seasoning..a few dabs of soy sauce..two cans of diced tomatoes on top and a little water in the pan..cooked at 325 for 2 and a half hours..absolutely fabulous. Thanks a bunch
This one is the best. We love tomatoes too, so that helps. This makes the london broil so tender and tasty! I do add beef boullion to it while cooking. It really give the tomatoes flavor and the broil too.
I made this last night and it turned out fantastic. I used two organic grass-fed london broils. I used a can of organic whole tomatoes. I sliced the tomatoes into medium size chunks. I sprinkled on some garlic powder and pepper. Baked it for 3 hours at 350 degrees covered with aluminum foil. During the last five minutes on top of the london broil I sprinkled basil, pepper, and garlic powder. Covered it back up and cooked for the remaining five minutes. The london broil came out so tender and juicy. My husband loved it as well. On the side I made a Greek Green Beans recipe on this site and it matched up well with the london broil. I'll definitely make this again.
This was really good. I had a London Broil in the freezer for quite a while and wanted to use it, but much like other reviewers, it was not Grilling weather. I found this recipe and gave it a try. It was good. Baked for about 4 hours and it just flaked apart. I used one smaller can of Tomatoes because that is what I had, a small amount of V8 juice and soy sauce and minced garlic. That is it and it smelled and tasted really great. Will make again.
I thought this was very good and it smelled so yummy while cooking. A small taste through the cooking process revealed meat that seemed too dry to me, but I used convection cooking on my oven which I know nothing about, but I didn't have 3 hours to cook this so I cooked at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. This is kind of like a roast, but with a better cut of meat. I made it exactly as stated, except that I added cut up fresh carrots. I made mashed potatoes with this & the potatoes dipped in the tomato sauce were very tasty! Adding the carrots saved me cooking a veggie separately. My family really liked this. It's a very easy meal & a keeper for me.
I don't have the planning skills to start dinner early in the day, so I count on my pressure cooker a lot!. This came out really good. I used one can of stewed tomatoes, 1 cup of water, a pkg. of onion soup mix and a clove of crushed garlic. For those of you who don't have a pressure cooker, I highly recommend getting one. Meat comes out amazingly tender - no matter what cut you use --and so fast. The key is lots of liquid. I always brown the meat first - it makes a huge difference. Unlike a slow cooker, it's best to cook your veggies separately, as they tend to get mushy.
This was great! I did rub lemon pepper seasoning on the London broil before cooking, for a bit more flavor and added some chopped onion as well. I also cooked it in the crockpot, on high for 4 hours. Turned out great and I was able to "forget" about cooking dinner.
MADE THIS FOR DINNER THIS EVENING, USED TWO CANS OF DICED TOMATOES, SEASONED WITH BASIL, OREGANO, GARLICE PEPPER, PEPPER, AND HERBED GARLIC SALT. COOKED FOR 3 HOURS... WAS FANTASTIC...WIFE LOVED IT, SAID I FIXED A GREAT MEAL...
I followed the recipe exactly, husband and I both loved it! Definately a keeper! Thanks!
Good basic recipe. We get a lot of BOGO London Broils, and I look for new ways to make them. I used a can of diced tomato with green chilis and it was very good.
I did not get the expected results. The tomatoes dried out and the meat was dry and tough. I may have done something wrong and would be willing to try it again if I could figure it out.
okay, i may have done something wrong. the flavor was fine, but this was the toughest london broil i've ever had! don't think i'll make this again.
This recipe was O.K. It reminded me of pot roast that I might put in my crock pot. I don't think I would do this one again
I had qualms about this, thinking it seemed too easy, but it is just that! I put the meat in the oven frozen and it only took an extra 30 minutes. I've made it twice now, this time I used thick cut sirloin steaks and it still turned out shreddy. Ate it over salted potatoes from this site, added a little butter to make a somewhat mashed consistancy. I add extra veggies, this time I put celery and onion on before the canned tomatoes. Bell peppers next time, methinks!! This recipe will replace swiss steak for us! And I 've used a 9x13 pan both times with foil, no fancy roasting pan :)
Good solid recipe. Don't overcook. Don't skimp on liquid to keep the beef moist.
My family just loved this!!! The best part was how easy it is to prepare and just pop it in the oven. To add a some different flavor I used some stewed (you can use diced) tomatoes with the onion, garlic and bell pepper allready in it! It saved time having to cut all of that up. GREAT!!!!!
Bland, came out very watery and had no taste to it. The tomato taste was 'different' and I could see incorporating it into a different dish but by itself it was just... bland
I did a major variation of this recipe. First I poked the meat with a fork repeatedly, then massaged in French Onion Soup Mix onto the top of the meat. Instead of tomatoes, I used a red wine mixture (1/2 cup red wine with 1/4 cup water) which I poured over the meat and it soaked in. I found using a gas stove the cooking time was much reduced--300 degrees for 1 1/2 hours and that was for well done. Next time I'll cook it even less!
My husband loved it especially the tomatoes on top. I used a can of diced tomatoes with garlic and basil.i liked this recipe.it was easy and quick to put together. Will make again.
I was looking forward to eating this recipe, but it was way too dry! I will not be making this again
This was very good. My whole family liked it. However, I used, 1 can of tomatos with green chilis, and added a green onion. I guess mine was a smaller london broil because the meat was done in 1 hour and 15 minutes. EXCELLENT!!!
This was the easiest London Broil I've made. I used diced tomato with garlic. I didn't do anything else special. I would have like for it to be not so well done, but my husband likes his beef well done. He really enjoyed it. When he put the last piece in his mouth, he said make this again.
Did not care for this recipe. London Broil is hard to cook tender
This was easy and VERY tasty! I also added carrots, green peppers and onions. As it cooked I added some beef broth. The last hour I added red wine. I had to cover it with foil half way through because it started to dry out. But it breaks apart with a fork and the taste is really good.
5 stars for very easy and very good. I had a couple of one pound london broils and this was a great way to cook them. Turned out very tender. I did it pretty much like the recipe except I put a little bit of Bragg's Liquid Aminos over the meat in a baking dish and seasoned with a little garlic powder and cracked pepper. Left it in the frig to marinate for an hour or so. Then opened up a can of tomatoes and dumped it on top, covered it with foil, and put it in the oven for 2 1/2 hours at 350. Sooooo easy and very good. I have leftovers that will make a great soup today too. Thanks for this post.
I did this in the crock pot all day. It was a little dry and bland for my taste. I will not be making this recipe again
I was alway's from the old school. Marinate overnight grill & hope it won't be tough. I did this at 325 degrees, one can tomato , one sliced onion and baked covered for 2 1/2 hours. To DIE for! Looking forward to next time but may try 300 degrees for medium.
Tender and juicy as it gets. I set the oven at 325 and kept it in for 2 hours. Some people said it came out dry, but I kept if covered the whole time and it came out great. Added some onions this time, but I plan on experimenting with different spices next time.
Okay, firstly, this mostly just tasted like stewed tomatoes. That being said, it was pretty good. (I like stewed tomatoes, but I'm not their biggest fan.) It was definitely tender! I am used to a London Broil on the grill, but as it's the middle of winter I looked for a new recipe. Considering London Broil is on sale, this is not a bad way to go. Would make again, and modify seasonings to my mood, but all in all, not a bad way to go.
I do not like tomato taste, but I use tomatoes in many recipes and love the end result. This recipe absolutely makes tender meat, but I cooked it 10 minutes longer, and it was very, very dry. It will make good sandwiches, but I just didn't like it as much as I anticipated. I did soak it overnight in the tomatoes, and this could have cause it to be dry, but it was very dry. Great sandwich meat. Marginal dinner meat. I doubt I will use it again.
This was soo good! I used 2 cans of petite cut diced tomatoes with zesty jalepenos in them and it was great! I'm not crazy about roasts but this is one well worth trying.
I've made this several times......Always sooooo good!!!! This time I sprayed the roasting pan and seared the meat before putting it in the oven. I also added some green pepper and onion to the tomatoes. Next time: Seared meat and 2 links sweet Italian sausage in cast iron pan and added to slow cooker. Lightly seared red peppers, orange peppers and onion in pan and added to slow cooker. Covered with 1 can diced tomatoes. Cooked on high approximately 6 hours.
Wonderful recipe! My fiancé is a meat and potatoes man and he loved it - even with the tomatoes! Can't wait to make again!
Very easy, but you get out of this recipe about what you put into it. I rubbed the meat with salt and pepper, and added garlic powder, onion, oregano and basil to the tomatoes, but still the meat was bland. Tender, yes, but bland as all get out. This recipe has a good technique for cooking the london broil, but in terms of flavor, it needs alot of help.
2 hours was way too long to cook this roast. My meat was dry and pasty. I'm annoyed such a great cut of meat was so ruined.
Flavor from tomatoes was good, but meat was dry and tasteless. Used choice grade 1 1/4 inch thick bottom round.
This was real easy and very delicious. I seasoned the meat before adding the tomatoes. I didn't have stewed so I used diced that we seasoned with garlic, green chilies, oregano, etc. Then I added minced garlic. I covered it and cooked for 2 1/2 on 325. It was a little over cooked but super delicious and tender. Next time (because I will be making again) I will cook it for 2 hours.
I did not care for this recipe. I followed the recipe as written and the roast was done in one hour and it was hard as a brick.
I really enjoyed this recipe as did my fiancé. The meat was tender and flavorful. I would make this again.
Bought a piece of London Broil for the first time and found this recipe. Tried it and loved it. As others have said, it was moist and very tender. I've always heard London Broil is tough, but with this recipe...no way! I put a rub of cinnamon, ground pepper and salt onto the meat, placed in an oblong pyrex dish, & topped with a can of Basil & Oregano flavored Diced Tomatoes. Covered with heavy foil and put in the oven at 300 for 3 hours. It came out looking like the 2nd photo.
Very easy, very tasty. Did the added suggestion of soy sauce, A1, ground pepper and Italian seasoning - definitely added lovely flavor. Will make this one again!
This was an ok recipe, but it made my London Broil taste more like pot roast. This is not my favorite.
I give this recipe 4 stars because it is so easy and I always have the ingredients on hand. The flavor is great...although I'm not sure I'd label it the best ever. Makes great leftovers as well.
As a beginner cook who has no idea how to cook beef, this was a flop - husband said it was tough to chew. I'm not a natural in the kitchen so I followed the recipe exactly but then read the reviews and turned down my heat to 325 but still cooked it for 2 1/2 hours. Tough as leather unfortunately. I was hoping for tender, juicy beef experience. Well, on to another recipe. Scratch this one for sure!!
This tasted sooo good and was soooo easy to make! I took some users advice and used diced tomatoes instead of the stewed tomatoes. I also added soy sauce and cut onions. Delicious!!! This is a keeper.
Very simple and very easy to make. I added little bit of garlic powder, salt, and pepper on the steak before throwing a can of chopped tomatoes on top. It is tasty but extremely dry. I am going to try cooking it less than recommended 2 hours next time.
I usually prepare my london broil by broiling it after scoring and basting it with olive oil, salt and pepper. I decided to eschew that technique, and try this delicious-looking recipe. I must say, I am disappointed. I followed the recipe to the letter, and the darned thing turned out as tough as an Army boot. I will not try this again.
Just wanted to say - BEWARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT! I lived in Texas as a bachelor and I used this once and tried to impress a girlfriend - it was perfect (either that, or my girlfriend was trying to borrow money from me). I tried the EXACT SAME THING after I had to move for my job to Palm Springs, California and it was way WAY too dry. I could even tell the difference. (She stayed with me but cooked more often - not sure who really lost in that situation.) My advice is that the same recipe may not work in two different places, due to humidity or stupidity or whatever. I learned that the hard way.
I give this a 4 because, while it wasn't the "Best Ever" as advertised, it was very good, and the fact that it was so easy made it even better!!! I have made this a few times now, wonderful time saver and the family loves it.
Very tasty. I added my own spices and water as another reviewer suggested. The meat looked dry, but was actually very tender for such a lean piece of meat. My husband really liked it. Will make again.
This was the best I've ever had a London Broil turn out - very tender.
This was by far not the best London Broil ever. In fact, it's not a LB at all, nor does it taste like one. It turned out dry and bland, and tasted exactly like a beef pot roast. Mediocre at best. I cooked it on 325 instead of 350. The recipe also calls for baking 2 1/2 to 3 hours, so I made the mistake of waiting to check it until 2 hours and 10 minutes. It was already way overdone.
Best london broil recipe i have ever made and super easy. This one is a keeper.
I used 1 can of Rotel Tomatoes, 1 can of Fire Roasted Tomatoes, 1/2 cup red wine. I put garlic powder and pepper on both sides of London Broil and baked at 325 for 2.5 hours (covered). The last hour I put in a separate dish of fennel that I drizzeled olive oil over. Delicious! The salt in the canned tomatoes is enough you don't need to add extra salt. Hence the garlic powder.
Pretty good. Very easy and I will make again when London Broil is on sale and am looking for an easy way to prepare it. I lined the baking pan with foil and had minimal clean up. The "sauce" was very good over white rice. Next time may try over egg noodles. Thanks for the recipe!
yes my family and i loved it!! my meat was delicious, very tender, i looked through a lot of recipes because i do not like using broiler,prefer oven. 2 changes i made was, i marinated meat in Italian salad dressing in fridge for a couple hours, also meat tenderizer, the rest was like recipe, i will always make this way! thank you!
I made this exactly as the recipe suggested, but since I don't have a roasting pan I just bundled the whole thing up in tin foil and it turned out great.
This is a good way to make London broil, but I wonder if the suggested 350 degrees was a mistake. I knew to cover it and I cooked it for 325 for 1.5 hours, then added 1/2 a cup beef broth mixed with 1/2 cup red wine because it was drying out, dropped the temperature to 300, and cooked it another 1.5 hours. I did cook it on a bed of sliced onions so the juices from the meat would drip down on them and caramelize them. I had to laugh at all the reviews that supposedly rated this recipe, but used entirely different seasonings. Those reviews just waste our time. One person didn't even use tomatoes! It's one thing to make minor changes and share if it worked for you, but if you completely ignore the directions, then you did not make THIS recipe. If what you did was completely different, but it tasted wonderful, you should post it as what it is - a completely new recipe.
This is a fantastic base recipe. My family loves this one even though I add more to it (spices, onions, carrots, etc). A fine way to use the London Broil. Thanks!
My son and I absolutely loved this. My husband liked it but thought it had too much of a tomato taste. I cooked in a crock pot and used a 15 oz can of diced tomatoes seasoned with basil, garlic and oregano. I served it with pasta which we thought worked really well.
I have made this Recipe twice and it is excellent. You have to make this in a covered dish with not a lot of extra room Bottom of the Pan, Half a sliced onion and a 14oz can stewed Tomatoes London Broil Salted, Peppered, Garliced, on top of the Onions. The other half of the Onion and a second can 14oz on top of that. Put the cover on the dish, put in a 350 Degree Oven for 2 hours for a 2 Lb London Broil. add more time for more meat. Outrageously Good.
Cooked it at 325 for 45 minutes then 300 for another hour took it out to stand for 15 minutes and more than done. Will shorten the cook time at least 15 minutes next time. Added 2 russet potatoes cut lengthwise and baby carrots on top in a covered casserole dish. Also gave it a healthy splash of worcestershire and pepper. Next time adding a few pieces of celery and a sliced onion as while tasty need a bit more zing for me. It did come out medium well fork tender. This could be a go to meal especially when London broil is on sale like today, scored a nice looking 2 lbs. (had a tiny bit of fat marbling) for 2.48 a pound on special. Served 4 easy and with the meat on sale 2.50 a plate with a some leftover meat and could have stretched to 5 or 6 with another simple side dish. 2 thumbs up from CT
This was horrible! I decided to make this because of the really positive reviews and the picture looked wonderful. However, the meat had all the flavor cooked out of it, it was very dry and stringy. Had to throw it in the garbage. What a waste!
My husband and I liked this but didn't love it. The sauce was really good (I served the meat over noodles), but the meat was not very tender. I roasted it tightly covered for three hours, so I'm not sure what I should have done differently. I will probably make it again if I can figure out how to get the meat more tender. I think I will use a different cut rather than london broil.
Follwed the recipe exactly and the meat came hard as a rock!!!! London broil isnt a chuck meat should have known not to use it, def use a chuck meat if u want it to become tender
I followed directions but I think I must've done something wrong because it came out super dry. Not trying this again
This is a good recipe However I added some rosemary, salt, pepper and sliced green peppers I made it with homemade mashed potatoes and cheesy garlic biscuits WHAT A MEAL
Hubby liked it. But I found it dried out. I used the 2 T of soy sauce, and put onions over the top of it like some suggested. I cooked it for 2.5 hours in a 325 electric oven then raised the temp to 250 to get it done. I'm not crazy about tomatoes, but I do eat them in certain recipes. The meat was too dried out for me. Hubby said it was good and he was glad I didn't like it so he could have another serving. I won't make it again to his chagrin.
This was okay. My husband didn't try it at all because it looked overcooked to him.
This was delicious. I wasn't really sure about the tomatoes, even though I like them, but it made this meat taste great. I will definitely use this recipe again.
No, this is not how to make London broil. Followed the recipe to the letter and wound up with something tough and inedible. Then hunted around for more authoritative sources online. Bottom line: marinate thoroughly, then broil briefly. OR use a slow cooker for 10 hours. This in-between approach does not work.
I cooked it by the recipe, and it came out well-done,to well-done.The tomatoes came out dry too.After reading some reviews and some said to cover it or cook it at 325 instead. Maybe i'll try it again that way.
Tried it tonight (2 1/2hrs), would do it again, but I think next time I will cover it so it will be more tender. It was a lousy cut of meat and was quite tasty. Thanks
I should have paid attention to the picture before I wasted my food. No beef should look stringy like the picture. Most of the ratings for 5 stars must have used a chuck roast type of meat or something meant to cook for hours like stew meat.
This was okay. I liked the flavor, but the meat was still too tough even though I tried somone's suggestion of using a foil packet.
One of those very rare times I didn't have canned tomatoes. But what I DID have is a surplus of salsa. I thinly sliced an onion for the bottom of the pan, lightly seasoned the meat with a salt-free spice blend, topped with the chunky salsa, added a little beef broth around on the onions and a little on top of the meat. I cooked this in my lidded enameled cast iron Dutch Oven. It turned out beautiful. I think next time I'll cut the temp to 325 and cook a little slower. Definitely have to cover this one so it can steam and stay moist. I sliced and pulled the meat and covered with the delicious sauce it made. Family loved it!
I had been marinating a piece in balsamic dressing. Decided to do this instead of grilling. It was a huge hit! Will make again.
