Slow Cooker Balsamic Beef and Onions

I make this with venison, and it turns out so tender and delicious. Is similar to 'sauerbraten,' but without days of marinating! Serve over pasta or potatoes, and a salad on the side.

Ingredients

• ½ cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Drizzle olive oil into the bottom of a slow cooker, and arrange half the onion slices over the oil. Lay the beef roast on top of the onion, and sprinkle the rest of the onion slices and the garlic around the roast. Sprinkle the balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, and water around the roast. Cover the slow cooker, set to High, and cook until the meat is tender, about 6 hours. Shred the meat into bite-size pieces with two forks, and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the juices from the slow cooker.
