Slow Cooker Honey Balsamic Beef Recipe
Description
This recipe uses a boneless beef roast cooked in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours or in an Instant Pot under high pressure for about 60 minutes depending on roast size. The roast is cooked with a mix of diced onion, garlic, canned beef broth, balsamic vinegar, honey for sweetness, and a blend of soy and Worcestershire sauces with red chili flakes for a hint of heat.
Once the beef is thoroughly cooked, it is shredded with forks and mixed back into the cooking sauce to keep it moist and flavorful. The slow cooking breaks down the meat fibers, producing tender beef with a balanced sweet, tangy, and savory profile enhanced by the chili flakes.
This shredded beef can be served alongside parmesan mashed potatoes and vegetables or piled on sandwiches for a hearty meal.
