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!

Delicious!! My husband loved it, and my 2 year old actually ate it! She doesn’t usually eat beef… SO glad I tried it, and will make it again!
It’s always such a great feeling when you cook something the little ones will eat – they do go through a picky stage it seems! I’m so happy that you enjoyed this – it’s a regular dish I make in my house too! Thanks so much, Audra! xo
Robyn, I tend to make palette extending recipes my family tends not to eat much off.
My wife who refuses to more than taste most of my meals had doubles and thirds. Paid with a broccoli and key lime infused oilive oil (from Fiore in Maine )roasted fingerling potatoes
Thank you for the family counsel. 🙂
I’m so thrilled that your family enjoyed this – it’s one of our favorite dishes!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Mr. Lawson
I hope you find many more recipes here that you will enjoy! 🙂
I have a ton of hamburger meat but want to try this recipe. Any chance I could use it in this recipe?
Hi Cassie,
This recipe is one of our favorites – it’s really delicious. I’ve never tried it with ground beef, so I can’t say how it would turn out. Thanks!
Hello,
Can I use a pressure cooker instead?
It’s in my pressure cooker right now, I will let you know how it turns out.
I hope you enjoy it, Cindy! Thanks so much! xo
Would I be able to use London broil for this recipe.
Thanks

Cooking time for chicken? Good stuff.
WOW!!! You’re not kidding. This is so delicious. I used a really expensive and delicious balsamic vinegar and had to modify the worcestershire sauce since store bought brands have gluten and my homemade recipe includes nightshades (both of which i’m avoiding right now) but even winging it a bit with that worked out just fine. This will be in the regular rotation for sure. (And I usually don’t like slow cooker roast recipes). THANK YOU!!!
Hi Dede!
Doesn’t this taste amazing! It is one of our family favorites and definitely on rotation in our meals too! I love the flavor and how easy it is to make! Thanks so much! So glad you enjoy it! xo
Can I use top sirloin Roast? And what would be th cooking time on low for a 4 lb roast. Thinking 8 hours on low?
Jacqueline,
You can use top sirloin roast in this recipe. I would cook on low for 8 hours in the slow cooker. Hope you enjoy! xo
What do you recommend for side dishes?
Jean,
I like to serve it with vegetables or a salad, as well as either potatoes or rice. I hope you enjoy it – it’s delicious! Thanks! xo
What potato recipes would you use with this beef recipe?
Tina,
I like to serve this with Twice Baked Potatoes and any mashed potato recipe. Hope you enjoy! xo

I’m delighted that you enjoy it, Tash! It’s one of our family favorites too. Thanks so much! xo
