    3., Bring it to boil.Transfer it to the oven and bake at 350°F for 3,5 hours or set your slow cooker on low for 8–9 hours or high for about 4–5 hours.
    4. Once done, the beef will be tender and juicy. Shred it with a fork and serve with the rich cranberry-balsamic sauce spooned over the top.
