Slow Cooker Balsamic Beef Roast ( Asado Negro)

In Venezuela, Asado Negro is a classic dish. Every family has it’s own version and use different ingredients, but the technique stays the same. This Slow Cooker Balsamic Beef Roast is braised with a balsamic and coke sauce that makes the meat tender and full of flavor.

Believe or not, I didn’t grow up with a crockpot. My mom still doesn’t know what it is. When I came to the states and discovered this contraption, I instantly fell in love. A set it and forget it machine is perfect for busy days and comforting foods. Now I’ve adapted my favorite braising recipes to the slow cooker technique like this yummy Slow Cooker Balsamic Beef Roast.

An important tip when using a slow cooker to cook beef, is to ALWAYS brown your meats before inserting in the pot. Browning sears the beef and also caramelizes the outside giving you a juicier and tastier product. One tiny step can make a big difference. In Spanish, Asado Negro means “Black Roasted” because of the browning of the beef before adding in the liquids. Usually they add brown sugar to the oil making the outside of the meat look “black”. I omit the sugar because it doesn’t add anything flavor wise.

When I make this hearty dishes, it takes me back to my childhood. Growing up, my parents used to have dinner together with us every night. Rain or shine at 8 o’clock all five of us were sitting on the table having dinner and talking about our day. I really miss that tradition and hope to instill it here when my girls are a bit older.

Although the original Asado Negro doesn’t have balsamic or coke in its ingredient list, this is my own creation and I hope you can make it for your family. I promise you that they are going to love it and be very generous with the onions! yum.

    This was incredibly delicious. I made mine in the oven (300 degrees for 2 3/4 hours) instead of the crockpot, and I thickened it with flour after I cooked the onions instead of cornstarch at the end. It was awesome.
