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!

Hi, love the idea of this, would you have to increase the time (and by how much!?!) if I was cooking enuf for 14 people? Thanks, Solii
You would increase the ingredients proportionally to the size of the roast you are using, as well as the cooking time.
MUST be trying this! I love balsamic everything so this should be wonderful — do you just serve it as meat, or do you tuck it into rolls with condiments?
Hi Gail,
I like to make things simple and cook once and serve it twice, so I generally will make this and serve as a meat and then serve any leftovers in my stuffed mushrooms recipe or the french dip recipe I’ve posted using this roast. Of course, I’ve also made it exclusively for those as well! 🙂 Enjoy!
Just made this but doubled everything and added fresh sliced mushrooms. Both my daughter and son didn’t for the first time add ketchup to their meat. To me, that in itself is a complete success. Husband says its better than steak. Bravo, this will be made at my house from now on.
Wow! That’s a major compliment, Cindy! Thanks so much for letting me know. I bet the mushrooms were fabulous!
I tried your Balsamic Roast Beef recipe….my husband and I both really enjoyed it. So simple. It’s a keeper for sure.
So glad y’all loved it, Deborah!
this looks amazing…definitely adding it to the list of options for a comforting fall/winter meal! i recently discovered stores that exclusively sell flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars, i might have to try one and use it in this recipe for a twist! love the serving dish you photographed it in too…would you mind sharing the source for that?
This looks SO good! Must-try. Would it be okay to add carrots & potatoes to this in the slow cooker?
I’ve added carrots before, but not potatoes. Both should be fine to add in.
Awesome- another great slow cooker recipe- yippee!!!
Ooh. I adore roast beef and that dish of the pulled meat has me drooling. I am loving this recipe too!
Oh my gosh, what a perfect dinner for a cool Fall evening! Love!
I can’t wait to try this one. we love balsamic – never thought to use on roast beef…pinning 🙂
