Balsamic Beef Slow Cooker Recipe Ingredients

Just like a traditional pot roast, the main ingredient for this low carb recipe is a 2-3 pound boneless chuck roast. If you prefer other cuts of meat, like a rump roast, most other roasts work for this recipe as well.

Using the highest quality roast you can find can help lower inflammation on a ketogenic diet. When it comes to meat, selecting organic, grass-fed meat will help you get the most nutrients. You’ll also keep toxins that are found in conventional meats at a minimum. This is a win-win for your delicious recipes.

If you’re unable to source grass-fed beef near you, check out Butcher Box. They’ll deliver grass-fed, organic meat right to your doorstep.

The sweet roast beef sauce is made up of balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos, and minced garlic.

While you may be shocked to find balsamic vinegar as an ingredient for a keto diet recipe, this is simply used to flavor the meat. This means very little of the carbs will transfer to your plate.

Finally, you’ll need coconut oil to brown the meat, oregano to season the meat, and a non-stick cooking spray to make for easy clean up.

 

How to Make Keto Crockpot Balsamic Beef

Start by preheating the crockpot or slow cooker to a low setting. Then spray the crockpot with a nonstick spray. While the crockpot heats up, you can brown the outside of the roast.

To brown the roast, first melt the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat until it is hot. Then add the roast into the hot oil. Brown each side for 2-3 minutes per side.

Once all sides of the roast is browned, add it into the crockpot. Scrape all of the brown bits from the pan and add them into the crockpot for the best flavor.

Next, add the balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos and minced garlic into a bowl. Stir to combine. Then pour the sauce over the low carb beef roast.

Finally, season the roast to taste with oregano.

You can add any additional seasonings you prefer here as well. Black pepper, salt or a little bit of garlic powder also work well with this recipe. These spices add even more flavor without adding to the carb count of the meal.

Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours. If you need the cooking time to be shorter, you can cook this low-carb pot roast on high heat for 3-4 hours.

 

Easy Pot Roast Tips:

While the original recipe is pretty straight forward, let’s chat about a few tips you can use to make this keto crockpot meal even easier:

• If you’re short on time, or you want less dishes to wash, you can skip browning the beef in a frying pan to cut back on cook time. While this is a great way to give your easy keto pot roast a good flavor, it’s not necessary. (As shown in the steps above).
• For best results and a more tender pot roast, choose the longer cooking window at a lower temperature.
• While I typically use a boneless beef chuck roast for this recipe, I have used a beef brisket in the past and it’s also a great cut of meat for this recipe.
• To make this even more of a flavorful low carb pot roast dish, you can add beef broth or olive oil into the pot roast sauce. Both are great additions to this low-carb recipe.

 

The Best Low Carb Pot Roast Wrap Up

Whether your goal is weight loss on a strict keto diet, or you just prefer following the low carb way as a lifestyle, add balsamic beef to your easy keto recipes list. This is a good pot roast dish that you can combine with so many different keto sides to make a delicious low carb meal.

My favorite low carb side to add alongside any kind of meat is coconut fried cauliflower rice. It’s a quick and easy keto side that I never get bored with.

If you have a little spare time while the pot roast cooks, garlic bacon green beans is a side that requires a little extra prep work – but it’s worth every extra minute you spend in the kitchen.
