Balsamic Roast Beef Recipe – So simple and delicious, you’ll definitely want left overs of this balsamic roast beef recipe for all those scrumptious leftover meals!
Okay, this. This needs to be on your menu immediately. No kidding.
By now, you’ve probably noticed that I really love my slow cooker. I also really, really love simple roast beef recipes. And when you marry the two you get the easiest slow cooker roast beef recipes you could ever imagine.
I fall in love with them more every single time I make them. But this. This balsamic roast beef recipe really has become a family favorite.
If you love chuck roast recipes that are different from the one you’ve made week in and week out and love the ease of slow cooker and crock pot recipes, then I think this is one slow cooker beef recipe that you are truly going to love, too!
Full of flavor, but not in a way that is overpowering by any means, my balsamic roast beef recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or a slow Sunday supper.
And the leftovers? You definitely want to have leftovers of this roast beef – or do like I’ve done in the past and cook two just to be sure that you do!
I’m all about simple recipes that I know will be loved when I serve them. When they are routinely requested for supper, I know I’ve done something right. And this recipe falls into that category.
This is one of the few recipes on the blog that I also share in my cookbook and is one that many of you have loved as well.
One of the things I love most about this recipe is that my balsamic roast beef recipe doesn’t require any browning of your beef before adding to your slow cooker or anything of that nature.
How to Make the Best Balsamic Beef
You simply add your roast beef to the slow cooker, mix and pour in all of your liquid ingredients, toss in your garlic and turn on your slow cooker. How easy is that?
After it has cooked, remove your roast beef with tongs into a serving dish. I then like to just use two forks to break the meat that hasn’t already fallen apart into pieces. It is so tender, it practically falls part! Then, I spoon some of the gravy over the meat and serve.
But, be sure to pour the remaining gravy into an airtight container and place in your refrigerator to use for another meal – like these Balsamic French Dip Sandwiches!
Here’s the recipe for my Balsamic Roast Beef. I can not wait to hear how you like this one!

I made this tonight and it was heavenly! I am very much looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow. Thanks for a fantastic recipe!
Just made this for the first time and it is fantastic. I only made one addition and threw in a large Vidalia onion cut into quarters. 8 hours later and I’m in heaven.
Hi! I found you on Pinterest and am v keen to make this – it looks amazing!
I’m in the UK and this may sound silly but what’s a ‘chuck’ roast?? Thanks!
My best friend & I made this recipe last night for my family & everyone absolutely LOVED it! not one complaint was made from anyone! it was so delicious! this is definitely going to be a regular meal for us! đŸ™‚
I loved this recipe Robyn! Thanks so much! Added 1 sauteed yellow onion and extra garlic (because I’m a garlic lover :). Delicious! Used it for french dip sandwiches and we all loved them.
I make this at least once a week. I’ve used roast, steak, pork roast, pork chops, and chicken breasts. All turn out very good! I usually put in a little extra vinegar because I like the flavor. Even my parents will eat this!
This recipe is amazing! The last hour really made a big difference in the tenderness of the meat, so don’t rush it. Also, I don’t think the cut of meat matters. I purchased a buy one get one free bottom round and turned out great. So stop hating haters, you screwed up the recipe! Admit it and pin on lol.
I made this roast beef, and it was yummy. I did rub it down with some of my homemade Adobo, chili powder, 1 tsp of dried mustard, a tablespoon of heinz 57, and a little organic salt free seasoning from Costco.
sorry forgot to rate the recipe–5 stars!
OMG! I just made this for supper tonight and it is AWESOME! My husband will love this. I’m sure I’ll be making this again this week. this is definitely a keeper in our house. Thank you!! btw, no problem the recipe, if anyone was having problems with it. followed recipe to a T and used chuck roast. very good:)
That’s what I replied Michele before I read yours. Follow directions & it’s yummy!
