Mississippi London Broil Pot Roast

Sunday, September 1, 2019
Mississippi Pot Roast is probably the most searched recipe and the first to be found on the web.

If you love a dinner that practically cooks itself, this Mississippi Pot Roast with London Broil is one you’ll want to keep in your regular rotation.

It’s rich, savory, buttery, and packed with incredible flavor, yet it takes very little effort to get it on the table.

While traditional Mississippi Pot Roast is usually made with chuck roast, I make mine with London Broil, and it turns out wonderfully when cooked low and slow.

The beef becomes tender and flavorful as it simmers with butter, ranch seasoning, au jus, and tangy pepperoncini. The result is a comforting, melt-in-your-mouth meal with a delicious gravy that begs to be spooned over mashed potatoes.

Mississippi Pot Roast became popular because of its wonderfully simple combination of ingredients. It’s one of those recipes that proves you don’t need a long ingredient list to make an unforgettable dinner. The pepperoncini adds just enough tang and a subtle kick to balance the richness of the beef and butter.

This is also an incredibly versatile meal. Serve the tender beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or buttery biscuits. You can pile the shredded beef onto toasted rolls for amazing sandwiches, or serve it alongside roasted vegetables for a complete family dinner.

And the best part? It’s even better the next day. The flavors have time to mingle, making leftovers perfect for sandwiches, wraps, bowls, or another easy weeknight dinner.

Whether you’re feeding your family on a busy evening, looking for an easy Sunday supper, or simply craving a hearty comfort-food meal, this Mississippi Pot Roast is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent place in your recipe box.

My beer pork roast pressure cooked is awesome, you will also love slow-cooker chicken cacciatore,  and marinated burgundy prime rib is our favorite around the holidays.

What took me so long? Not sure, I have now made this recipe more than 6 times since the first try.

Cooking Methods

  • The secret of any lesser cut of meat is to slow-cook it. We love our slow cooker option on the Instant Pot
  • The pressure cooker mode is perfect for when you're in a hurry. I like to set it and forget it, go to work, come home, and viola dinner is ready
  • You can use any method as long as it's low and slow cooking. The oven method in a cooking bag works; however, it should cook at 300 for around 3 to 4 hours, and don't forget to poke holes in the oven roasting bag
  • If you use an instant pot on pressure cooker mode, set it to high for 35 minutes, and check after you release the steam, if the meat is fork-tender, it's done for a 3-pound roast. Add around 29 minutes per pound

Slow Cooker vs. Other Cooking Methods


The slow cooker is my favorite method because it keeps the process incredibly easy and gives the London Broil plenty of time to become tender.

You can also adapt the recipe for a Dutch oven or pressure cooker, but cooking times and liquid requirements will vary.

The important thing is to cook the beef until it is tender enough to pull apart easily, rather than relying only on a specific cooking time.
