Balsamic Beef Roast
Tender and delicious beef roast cooked low and slow in balsamic sauce. This recipe is one of my favorite easy go-to dinners and comes together simply in your slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 2 lb. Chuck Roast or similar (fat trimmed)
- ½ Red Onion sliced (julienned)
- ⅓ cup Balsamic Vinegar
- ½ cup Tomato Sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 Garlic Cloves minced
- ¼ teaspoon Dried Thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- ⅓ cup Beef Broth or chicken, vegetable, bone
Instructions
- Place the beef roast in your slow cooker. Sprinkle sliced onions over and around the roast.
- In a small bowl, whisk balsamic vinegar, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, minced garlic, pepper, and thyme. Pour sauce over roast. Pour the broth around the meat.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours for a tender pull apart result. When done, the roast should be fork tender.
- Thicken the sauce by whisking a tablespoon of cornstarch in a small bowl with a ½ cup of the sauce. Pour thickened sauce into the slow cooker with remaining sauce and meat and stir to combine.
- Serve pot roast with balsamic sauce and your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
