Balsamic Eye of Round super easy crock pot recipe that delivers, Cooking On The Fly With BA

OH EMMMM G!! Balsamic Eye of Round.

We were so excited to try this Balsamic Eye of Round, I forgot to cook the green beans!!! It was off the chain. I never thought this cut of meat could become so tender! Five stars in this house!!!

  • 3-4 lb or eye of round (trimmed the fat off)
  • Use 1 regular sized can of beef broth
  • Add 1 cup of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon worst shire
  • Use 1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce ( i used low sodium)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon of honey
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 3-4 springs of rosemary
  • 3-4 sprigs of thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

DO NOT cook vegetables with meat. They get too vinegary.

BA’s Mushroom Beef Stew

The first words out of his mouth were

“Oh My God, Babe!!”

I will take that as five stars.  Super easy to make, hearty and flavorful.  I will for sure be making this again.

BA Notes, before starting

I cooked the brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes and carrots separately but I don’t see why you couldn’t throw them all in.  I just choose not too because I’m not a fan over overcooked veggies and I like to give the dish a more complex flavor by seasoning them differently.  Also,this was my first time cooking a roast like this in a crock pot.  I cooked it for 8 hours on low, it could have cooked another two with no problem.  So next time, I will put it in over night and let it cook.

Well, I wish I could tell you what type of meat I used but, I can’t. It was a really lean, inexpensive piece, so I might say a top round. In the end I guess it doesn’t matter and you can use whatever you like.  This is what you will need to cook the beef in the crock pot;

  • Hunk of meat (I used about a 3lb piece),
  • 1 packet of dry onion soup mix,
  • 2 small sweet onions,
  • two cans of mushroom soup (I used low sodium),
  • minced garlic,
  • olive oil, parsley, black pepper and red wine.

♦◊♦ I will say, my next time I will also be adding portobello mushrooms.
