Ingredients Needed To Make This Yummy Balsamic Beef Crockpot Recipe

How To Make This Delicious and Tasty Slow Cooker Balsamic Roast Beef Recipe
Step 1
Slice your onion up first and foremost. They don’t have to be pretty.
Step 2
Lay your carrots down at the bottom of the slow cooker. Then place your roast on top.
Step 3
Add your seasoning and onions on top of the roast, and then add the stick of butter on top.
Step 4
Turn your slow cooker on low and let it slow cook for 6-7 hours until you can shred the roast beef by the fork.
Step 5
Once the roast is finished shred it and spoon all the carrots out.
Step 6

Step 8

Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into your balsamic vinegar mixture and mix vigorously until thickened.
Step 10
Once thickened add the roast beef and carrots into the balsamic mixture and stir until coated.
Step 11
Serve!
Cooking Notes:
If you’re allergic to soy sauce like me, I made a substitution. Instead of soy sauce I used a couple dashes of Accent (I’m not afraid of msg) and 2 tablespoons of water.
If your sauce isn’t thick enough, if you added too much liquid, add another tablespoon of cornstarch/water mixture. Or if your balsamic vinegar roast beef glaze is too thick then add more liquids. Beef broth or water will work.
