BALSAMIC ROAST BEEF IN THE CROCK-POT



Balsamic Roast Beef in the Crock-pot image

I tried a new recipe that my friend from New Jersey sent me. She said it was so different than the regular pot roast with the balsamic vinegar. We tried it and liked it enough for me to add to my recipes. That is the test in my kitchen. If it is only so, so I don't even bother adding to my own cookbook let alone share with...

Provided by Marsha Gardner

Categories     Roasts

Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 c beef stock
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder with parsley
3 1/2 lb eye of the round
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
3 medium onions, peeled and thickly sliced
4 clove garlic
1/4 c water for deglazing
1/4 c balsamic vinegar
3/4 tsp thyme, dried
1 c beef stock
3 Tbsp flour for slurry
1/2 oz shitake mushrooms, dried
3/4 c boiling water for re-hydrating mushrooms

Steps:

  • 1. In medium saucepan pour beef stock, bring to boil, keep boiling until reduced to about 1/2 cup guessing at 3 minutes as it really depends upon pan size and burner temperature. Let cool. Meanwhile, mix together black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder; rub onto roast.
  • 2. Sprinkle flour onto both sides of meat and pat into meat Heat olive oil in high sided pan at moderate temperature, sear meat all over for about 10 minutes-take your time as this is when you get luscious drippings. While meat is browning, line crock-pot, add onions and garlic to crock-pot.
  • 3. Set meat on top of onions and then deglaze pan (about 1 minute) that meat was in with 1/4 cup water, scrap up those yummy drippings, reserve in pan for next step, Pour reduced beef stock, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary into deglazed liquid; pour over meat. Cover crock-pot, cook on low. I check the meat with meat thermometer about 30 minutes before I think it will be done. Crock-pots vary. For 3 1/2 pound roast, it will be done in about 5 hours, and for 3 1/4 pound roast it will take about 4 hours and 50 minutes. After removing meat, cover with foil and let rest while making gravy.
  • 4. About 15 minutes before removing roast, soak mushrooms in boiling water for 30 minutes, drain and discard liquid. Scoop out and reserve onions from crockpot. Take liquid from crockpot, and pour into large skillet, add the other cup beef stock, bring to boil, boil about 5 minutes, make slurry of flour and cold water, reduce burner to moderate temperature, stir slurry into hot liquid, and stir until lumps are out, strain if needed.
  • 5. Put reserved onions and mushrooms into gravy. Slice meat and add to gravy.

black pepper to taste
1-2 T olive oil (depends on your pan)
1/4 cup water to deglaze pan

While roast browns put 1 cup beef stock in saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, then let cool slightly and mix in balsamic vinegar and tomato sauce. Peel onions and cut into thick slices. When the meat is brown on all sides, remove the meat and then deglaze pan with 1/4 cup water. Add the pan drippings to sauce mixture. Place onions in bottom of slow cooker. Put meat on top of onions and pour beef stock mixture over. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until beef is tender.

  • Brown the beef before braising: Browning the beef adds flavor and color to the pot roast. Be sure to brown the beef in a hot pan over medium-high heat so that it gets a good sear.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to pot roast. Some good choices include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, and garlic.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar is the star of this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality vinegar that has a rich, complex flavor.
