Slow Cooker Balsamic Shredded Roast Beef

After my Flavorless Roast failure I wasn't sure if I wanted to make another Roast Beef again but one of my friends sent me this recipe and told me that she absolutely love it! And if she loves it, then I know I would have to try it.

(Updated 2014/03/01 - I made this again and after 8 hours in the slow cooker it shredded the way that it was supposed to! It had way more flavor to it when the shredded pieces had time to soak)

Ingredients:
2 - lb beef chuck roast
1 - Cup beef broth
1/2 - Cup light brown sugar
1/4 - Cup balsamic vinegar
1 - Tbsp soy sauce
1 - Tsp kosher salt
1/4 - Tsp crushed red pepper flakes
3 - Cloves garlic, chopped

Directions:
Whisk together all the ingredients and add to the bottom of a slow cooker. Put the roast in.

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Remove roast and shred with a fork, return to juices.

Serve and enjoy. The gravy is delicious with mashed potatoes too!

(I should have put the juices over top of the beef for the shot. I ended up putting in on for dinner but it would have made this picture look a lot better)

What did I think of this roast? I loved it! but I wanted to point out a couple of things. First, I don't know much about Roast Beefs and I couldn't find anything called a "Chuck Roast" so I ended up getting a "Bottom Round Steak Roast". I think the only reason that I got it was because it was 4.49\lb and everything else was 3.99\lb. I figured it would be a better quality? but it didn't "Shred" so I ended up slicing it up into thin pieces, putting those pieces back into the juice and they actually absorbed the flavors really well! This was a very good dinner :)
