- 12 oz rainbow carrots
- 1 medium sweet onion sliced
- 3-4 lb boneless chuck roast
- 1 C beef broth
- ⅓ C balsamic vinegar
- 1 T minced garlic
- 2 T brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Optional cornstarch 1T
In the bottom of a sprayed or lined slow cooker, place onion and carrots. Season roast liberally with salt and pepper and place on top of onion and carrots.
In a bowl, stir together broth, vinegar, garlic, sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over beef.
Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours.
Remove roast. Slice or shred beef and place on a serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions and carrots and place around beef on platter.
Either serve the cooking liquid in a bowl on the side or if you prefer a thicker “sauce”, pour liquid in a pan and stir in a mixture of 1 T cornstarch mixed with water. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened; about 5 minutes.
