Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large slow cooker, whisk together the minced garlic, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Place the seasoned roast in the center of the slow cooker and scoop a generous amount of the sauce over the meat.
  • Surround the roast with the baby potatoes and carrot chunks.
  • Cover the slow cooker, set it to low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours, and let the magic happen.

Shredding

  • Once cooked, transfer the roast to a plate, allow it to cool slightly, then shred it using two forks.
  • Return the shredded meat back to the slow cooker, gently stir it with the veggies and sauce.
  • Serve hot and enjoy the meal.

Notes

For a creamier dish, add a splash of heavy cream at the end of cooking. Customize the vegetables based on what's in season.
