What are the benefits of slow cooking?
Slow cooking is a technique that requires a lot of patience and time. It takes hours to cook something in the oven or on the stove. However, it is worth it because you can make healthy and nutritious meals for your family.
There are many benefits of slow cooking. It is easy to prepare and doesn’t need any electricity or gas to cook with. It also saves time since you don’t have to worry about checking on it all the time while it cooks.
Slow cooking has many health benefits as well. For example, when you cook with this method, you can reduce your risk of foodborne illnesses because bacteria cannot grow in the low-temperature environment that slow cooking creates.
Why would you make a balsamic glaze for your roast beef in the slow cooker?
A balsamic glaze is a mixture of balsamic vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. It can be used on beef, pork, or poultry.
Slow cooking gives the meat a tender texture and makes the glaze more flavorful. The sugar in the glaze caramelizes and creates a rich flavor. The vinegar in the glaze also helps to tenderize the meat.

Method
Step 1
Lightly grease a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place roast beef and mushrooms in a greased pot.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine beef broth, 1/3 cup (80 ml) balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce, honey, red pepper flakes, chopped garlic, and black pepper. Mix well and pour honey mixture over beef and mushrooms.
Step 3
Cover the cooker and cook on a low-heat setting for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender.
