My family loves this tangy, slow-cooked beef roast with gravy. We always hope for leftovers that I turn into a tasty sandwich spread.—Deborah Dailey Vancouver, Washington

6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced

We all loved this roast. With two hours to go on the timer, I added some new potatoes and baby carrots. Delicious!

I have made this recipe a few times and it is the best roast I have eaten. I agree with the vinegar, I have used it and left it out. I didn't use the cornstarch either because it is pretty thick. This is a great recipe.
