Description

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 3 pounds Ontario Corn Fed Beef roast such as chuck, round, brisket
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pound baby carrots (optional)
• 1 pound mini potatoes or diced potatoes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water

Directions

• Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, add the beef and brown on all sides, about 20 minutes and set aside.
• Add the onions and cook until tender, about 2-3 minutes, before adding the garlic and red pepper flakes and cooking until fragrant, about a minute.
• Place the beef, onions, broth, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, carrots and potatoes in a slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 3-5 hours. (The beef will be falling apart tender when done!)
• Remove the carrots, potatoes and beef and slice or shred the beef.
• Skim any fat from the cooking juices, place it in a sauce pan, bring to a simmer, add the mixture of the cornstarch and water and cook until the glaze has thickened a bit.
