Slow Cooked Balsamic Chuck Roast
This tender, flavorful slow-cooked chuck roast is seasoned with a balsamic marinade that blends savory and sweet flavors perfectly. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth meal, ideal for any occasion, and easy to make in your slow cooker.
INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds beef chuck roast
1 cup beef broth
2 cloves garlic minced
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Lightly grease your slow cooker to prevent sticking. Place the chuck roast in the greased slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, garlic, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour this marinade over the chuck roast in the slow cooker, ensuring it covers the meat evenly.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours, until the roast is fork-tender and easy to shred.
Remove the cooked roast from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and stir it into the remaining juices. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
