Ingredients
– 2-3 pounds rump roast (also called bottom round roast or round tip roast), or alternatives such as chuck roast, top round roast, or brisket, all boneless lean cuts suitable for slow cooking
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups beef broth (regular or substitute with other broth types; if low sodium, add more salt)
– 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
– 3 tablespoons maple syrup (can substitute honey or brown sugar)
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce)
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (yellow mustard can be used instead)
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 2 pounds baby potatoes or regular potatoes cut in large chunks (yellow and red potatoes recommended)
– 3 large carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
Instructions
1-Kick things off by gathering all your ingredients to make the process smooth and enjoyable. Start with trimming any excess fat from the 2-3 pounds of rump roast to keep the dish lean and flavorful. Once ready, mix the sauce in your slow cooker by whisking together the 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 cups of beef broth, 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.
2-Next, place the prepared rump roast in the center of the slow cooker and spoon some of that tasty sauce over it for even flavor. Arrange the 2 pounds of baby potatoes and 3 large carrots around the roast to let them cook together and absorb the juices. Cover with the lid and set your slow cooker to low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours, depending on your time.
3-After cooking, carefully transfer the meat to a plate, shred it using two forks, and mix it back into the slow cooker with the veggies and sauce. This step ensures every bite is tender and packed with flavor. For a link to more tips, check out our guide to easy slow cooker recipes on the site to enhance your meal prep.
