Best Cut of Beef Roast for a Slow Cooker
There are several different kinds of cuts that are good for the slow cooker:
- Chuck roast is the best option when it comes to slow cooking. It comes from the front portion of the cow and has a good amount of fat that makes it tender and moist the longer it is cooked!
- A round roast is a tougher cut of meat that comes from the rear leg of a cow. With this balsamic glaze and slow cooking, it becomes a tender and juicy roast that everyone will love!
- Sirloin tip roast (also known as round tip roast) is a flavorful lean cut of meat cut from the hindquarters of the cow. While it can be on the tougher side as well, it becomes nice and tender in the slow cooker. Keep in mind this is a different cut from sirloin roast!

Tips for Moist Slow Cooker Beef Roast
To keep your roast moist, once you start cooking, don’t remove the lid during the cooking process. So make sure to add enough liquid (other than water) to flavor the roast and keep it moist.
For the best flavor, make sure to season your roast before adding all your ingredients, and add your favorite bold flavors to enhance the roast.
The best way to serve is shredded over mashed potatoes or made into sandwiches or sliders. Reserve all the juices left in the slow cooker to pour over like gravy or use to dip your sandwich into.

Great sauce, a tiny bit vinegar forward. Otherwise, perfect. I added a few tbsp of cornstarch about 30 minutes before serving just to thicken it up and served it on top of polenta. Very tasty, and a welcome change from pot roast.
So happy you enjoyed it, Sarah!
Could you make your own homemade balsamic glaze. If so, how?
You could make a balsamic glaze by simmering it in a frying pan and reducing it until it reaches the consistency you desire. This should take from 15-30 minutes. Enjoy Kathy!
