Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly. This concentrated balsamic beef broth is your sauce. Pour it over the shredded meat.
Or skip the reduction and serve as-is. Both work. The reduced sauce is thicker and glossier. The un-reduced version is more like an au jus. Your call.
Step 7: Serve and Watch It Disappear
Serve the shredded balsamic beef over:
Mashed potatoes (classic and perfect—the sauce pools in the mash)
Egg noodles (the midwestern favorite)
Crusty bread (for sopping up every drop)
Rice or cauliflower rice (for a lighter option)
Roasted vegetables (for a low-carb meal)
Spoon extra sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley if you want to be fancy. But honestly? No one cares about parsley when the meat is this good.
