Easy Crockpot Balsamic Beef
Ingredients:
2-3 lb beef (chuck or round) roast
1 cup low sodium beef broth
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a medium bowl, mix together broth, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
- Place your roast in your slow-cooker. Pour mixture over roast. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or… if you are in a rush, on HIGH for 4 hours. Once roast is done, shred meat, remove from crockpot and set aside.
- Place the liquid from the crockpot into a small sauce pan and simmer to thicken, about 5-10 minutes. Drizzle over meat and serve immediately.

This was wonderful Corey. One of my daughters even said she likes it better then how I typically do a roast. Thanks for the great new twist!
Deborah says
I made this the other day for my family of 6. I work full time and all the kiddos are ages 3-8 so I don’t have a lot of time to cook. This turned out great. Everyone liked it so much and we made leftovers into steak sandwiches the next day. Going to try the chicken noodle soup tonight. Thank you so much – love your site!
Corey says
Thank you so much Deborah! I am so happy to hear you all loved the balsamic beef 🙂 I hope you love the chicken noodle as well. Happy cooking! xo
Deanna says
What else do you serve with this? Mashed potatoes or just salad and other veggies?
Corey says
I usually serve this with some steamed green veggie and a salad 🙂
Deanna says
?. I will try it!

WOW! I am sole caretaker for my long-time partner who has Alzheimers and Disphagia, among other problems. He is not ready (or willing) to live on pureed foods and I have begun shredding beef, chicken, and creating dishes with his favorite flavors and he seems to tolerate them very well. Because the elderly often lose (or diminish) their senses of smell and taste, I accentuate seasonings so he enjoys meals as well as gets nutrition. I know how he will really enjoy Balsamic beef and many of your other ideas in this collection and I thank you for it.

So very delicious! Served with boiled potatoes, carrots and green beans.
Only problem…nothing prints when I went to print the recipe. ☹️
Sarah says
We loved the flavor! I couldn’t get the drippings to thicken up though. Any tips?
Staci Hickerson says
Tried this recipe tonight!! It was so good! Thanks for sharing!
Frances BURGER says
Savory and tender! Served the first night with mashed potatoes and the second night, served sandwiches on ciabatta bread and provolone cheese and with the reduction as a dipping sauce.

This is now a family favorite. My daughters and I have an e-cookbook so that we can share and add recipes no matter where they are. One is in college, 1 is moving to Chicago after Grad school and one is in high school here at home. They make your Balsamic Beef for themselves and their friends. Also made a double batch at Christmas for a family dinner with our extended family from out of town. Everyone loved it – kids and adults!
Corey says
Oh I am so happy you all love the recipe so much!

Would this work for Keto?
