Balsamic Roast Beef

I made this tonight and it was great - unfortunately everyone thought so, so I don't have any leftovers! Next time I buy a bigger roast!

This Balsamic Roast Beef Recipe is simple and delicious. You'll definitely want left overs of this roast beef recipe for all those scrumptious leftover meals!

Ingredients
  • 1 3-4 pound boneless roast beef (chuck or round roast)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
Instructions
  1. Place roast beef into the insert of your slow cooker. 
  2. In a 2-cup measuring cup, mix together all remaining ingredients. 
  3. Pour over roast beef and set the timer for your slow cooker: 4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
  4. Once roast beef is cooked, remove it from slow cooker with tongs to a serving dish. 
  5. Break apart lightly with two forks and then ladle about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of gravy over roast beef.
  6. Store remaining gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for another use.
Notes
  • If you prefer a more pronounced flavor, once the roast beef has been removed, use a fat separator on the gravy and then pour the gravy into a saucepan over medium heat. 
  • Simmer until the gravy has reduced by half - I highly recommend this, as it definitely enhances the flavor (note from Alanna).

  2. Just want to add a note about reducing the sauce- I strongly recommend doing so- I made this again today, and before I reduced the sauce, it was nowhere near as flavorful as it was afterwards.
