Prep Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all your ingredients. Dice onions and mince garlic.
Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: In the slow cooker, mix balsamic vinegar, cranberry sauce, brown sugar, thyme, and beef broth. Stir in the sautéed onion and garlic.
Add Beef to Slow Cooker: Place the seared beef into the slow cooker, ensuring it is well-coated with the sauce.
Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Serve: Remove beef, let it rest, then slice or shred. Serve warm drizzled with glaze over rice or mashed potatoes.

Feel free to customize with different cuts of beef or adjust the glaze with herbs and spices.
