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!

Balsamic Roast Beef

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 4 hours

Serves: 6-8

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).
