Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lb Chuck Roast
  • 1 Yellow Onion
  • 1 Packet Hidden Valley Ranch
  • 1 Stick Butter
  • Baby Carrots Package
  • 1/2 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp Water
  • 1/2 cup Beef Broth
  • 1/2 cup Beef Drippings

Method
 

  1. Clean and slice up the yellow onion and set aside, this goes on top of the roast.
  2. Lay your carrots at the bottom of your slow cooker and then add the roast on top, your seasoning, onions, and stick of butter.
  3. Turn your slow cooker on low and let it cook for 6-7 hours or until the roast is easily shredded with a fork.
  4. Once the roast is finished shred it on a plate and remove the carrots from the slow cooker.
  5. Put all the drippings in a bowl and add ice cubes. It'll seize the fat up. Spoon out all the fat and ice and use the beef drippings for the sauce.
  6. Add the beef drippings to the pan. Then add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar, and stir until well mixed.
  7. Add the cornstarch and cold water into a separate bowl.
  8. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into your balsamic vinegar mixture and mix vigorously until thickened.
  9. Once thickened add the roast beef and carrots into the balsamic mixture and stir until coated.
  10. Serve!

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.
