SLOW COOKER BALSAMIC BEEF AND ONIONS
I make this with venison, and it turns out so tender and delicious. Is similar to 'sauerbraten,' but without days of marinating! Serve over pasta or potatoes, and a salad on the side.

Tips:
- To achieve a tender and flavorful roast beef, choose a high-quality cut of meat. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Browning the roast before slow cooking adds depth of flavor. Sear the roast on all sides in a hot skillet until nicely browned. This will create a flavorful crust that will help seal in the juices.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. The vinegar is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to choose one that has a rich, complex flavor. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If the roast is too tightly packed, it will not cook evenly. Leave some space around the roast so that the air can circulate and the heat can reach all sides of the meat.
- Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours. This will give the meat time to become tender and fall apart. If you are short on time, you can cook the roast on high for 4-6 hours, but the meat will not be as tender.
Conclusion:
Balsamic roast beef is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender beef, rich balsamic vinegar, and flavorful vegetables is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and impressive meal that will wow your guests.
