Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it's smoking slightly. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned, creating a rich crust. This will take approximately 3-5 minutes per side. Don't overcrowd the pan; sear in batches if necessary. (15-20 minutes)

Transfer the beautifully seared roast to the bowl of a slow cooker. Scatter the thinly sliced yellow onions around the roast. Pour the balsamic vinegar evenly over the roast and onions, ensuring everything is nicely coated. (5 minutes)

Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6-8 hours, or until the roast is incredibly tender and easily shreds with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker. (6-8 hours)
05 Step

Once the roast is cooked, shred the meat directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Allow the shredded meat to soak in the flavorful juices for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will enhance the flavor and keep the meat moist. (15 minutes)
For extra flavor, try adding a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme to the slow cooker during the cooking process.
Browning the roast is crucial for developing a deep, rich flavor. Don't skip this step!
If the sauce is too thin after cooking, you can thicken it by removing the roast and onions, then simmering the sauce in a saucepan on the stovetop until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread for soaking up the delicious balsamic sauce.
