Some of the best recipes are born from simplicity, and this slow cooker beef roast is proof. With just three ingredients and a few minutes of prep, you can create a rich, tender meal that tastes like it took all day—because it did, but your slow cooker did the work for you.
The secret here is balsamic vinegar. It transforms an ordinary beef roast into something deeply flavorful, gently tenderizing the meat while creating a glossy, savory sauce that’s perfect for spooning over everything on your plate.
Why This Recipe Works
This recipe relies on a classic slow-cooking principle: low heat + time = tenderness. The balsamic vinegar breaks down tough fibers in the beef, while concentrating into a slightly sweet, tangy sauce as it cooks.
