Ingredients
- 2 lbs. London Broil
- 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
- 1/2 Cup Coffee
- 1/4 Cup White Wine
- 2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce (or Coconut Aminos)
- 2 Tbsp. Reduced Sugar Ketchup (or Homemade Low Carb Ketchup)
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
- 2 tsp. Minced Garlic
- 2 tsp. Onion Powder
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients together. We’ll need chicken broth, coffee, white wine, soy sauce, reduced sugar ketchup, dijon mustard, minced garlic, and onion powder.
- Add the london broil to the slow cooker. Coat each side with 1/2 of the non-liquid ingredients. So, each side will have 1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce, 1 Tbsp. Ketchup, 1/2 Tbsp. Dijon, and 1 tsp. Minced Garlic.
- Sprinkle 2 tsp. Onion Powder over the side that is facing up.
- Pour 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth, 1/2 Cup Coffee, and 1/4 Cup White Wine over the meat.
- Set slow cooker to high and let this cook for 4-6 hours.
- After the time is over, you can optionally leave the top off for the liquid to reduce some more. Keep in mind that if you do this, the meat will dry out a little.
- Using 2 forks, shred the meat.
- Serve – I garnished with hot sauce because I love spicy! I also served them with Roasted Pecan Green Beans – delicious!
