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!

Just wondering if you have the nutritional facts for this recipe. Particularly the calories per serving?
I have made this recipe numerous times, and it has never failed me. Perfect roast every time. I usually use beef broth as the recipe states but have used water and sometimes chicken bouillon in a pinch. Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m so glad you love it, Meagan!!!
Will an eye of round roast work well??
Absolutely a keeper for future crock pot roasts!! My husband told me this recipe is a definite keeper!
I put twice the liquid(mostly extra broth) with a 1 Kg (2.2lbs)round beef for 3hrs on high and 4 hrs low. The meat as described fell apart and was excellent with boiled vegetables in vegetable broth!
Thank you for this recipe!
I made this last night. It was so easy and a huge hit! My husband really loved the big, bold flavors. Thanks for the terrific recipe. I will definitely make this again!
I’m so glad your family enjoyed it, Liz!
I have a Venison Roast and I was wondering if that would work well with the recipe as well, or if you have any suggestions for a recipe that would work well for a venison roast. I have made the Balsamic Pork Roast and that came out great.
It is fabulous with venison, Tanya! I hope you enjoy it!
I found you on pinterest and had to add you to one of my boards. It’s so hard to find nightshade free recipes for the slow cooker and yours is perfect (as long as I don’t add the chili flakes). It’s so yummy I think this will be a new weekly staple. Plus I had plenty left over to make into other dishes. xxx
Made this tonight and its amazing! Definitely a keeper. Only thing different I did was add a packet of onion soup mis.
Hi Robyn, This looks great! Do you ever put veggies in to roast with it? Or do you make those separately?
Thank you!
Hi Emily,
I do not add veggies to this roast as they tend to soak up so much of the marinade that they do not taste good to me.
I have made this recipe countless times… it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Has been my no-fail, go-to, slow-cooker recipe! My family is thrilled to have it as part of our menu repertoire!
