Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lb chuck roast
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4–1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Place the beef roast in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the balsamic vinegar over the pot roast and sprinkle the seasonings evenly over the meat.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours, preferably 10.
- When the meat is done, shred it using two forks and stir it back into the juices. Serve hot, adding additional salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
- Beef Roast. I’ve tried nearly every cut of beef roast in the slow cooker and chuck roast turns out the best every time. Bottom round roast is a good substitute if you prefer leaner meat.
- Vinegar. There is no substitute for the balsamic vinegar (hence the name of the recipe). If you’re not a fan of the flavor, I suggest my Traditional Slow Cooker Pot Roast, which is equally delicious!
- Crushed Red Pepper. This is entirely optional, but the heat plays nicely with the slightly sweet balsamic vinegar.
