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.
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.
