Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 to 4 pound beef chuck roast
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups beef broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chuck roast in a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Pour the balsamic vinegar evenly over the beef.
  3. Pour the beef broth around the roast.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  2. Transfer the roast to a serving platter and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Shred into large pieces or slice against the grain.
  4. Spoon the warm balsamic cooking juices over the beef and serve.

Notes

This pot roast is best served warm with sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables. For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or herbs. If you want a thicker sauce, simmer the juices post-cooking until reduced.
