Paleo-ish Pot Roast

I have never made a pot roast before because my husband isn't really a huge fan, so I decided this would be a great Paleo-ish Friendly Recipe that I can eat for several meals.

Ingredients:

• 1 (2 1/2-3 lb) beef roast, cut to fit pot or crock pot (chuck, shoulder or round)
• 2 tablespoons oil
• salt and pepper , to taste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 teaspoon basil crushed
• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1/2 bag baby carrots
• 1 onion, cut into wedges
• 2 celery stalks, bias-cut in 1-inch pieces (I didn’t have any)
• 1/2 cup red wine or 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup water

 Carrots, potatoes, celery and onions in the bottom of the crock pot.

 

Trim some fat from meat. Salt and pepper both sides liberally. I also used Trader Joe's Everyday Seasoning. Brown meat on all sides in hot oil in a skillet. Drain fat. Place meat on top of the veggies in the crock pot.

Make Sauce. Mix 3/4 cup water, Worcestershire sauce, red wine or stock, basil and salt and pepper to taste. Pour over roast.

Cook pot roast, covered on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

 

I had a 3 pound Pot Roast and cooked it on high for 4.5 hours and I used only a fork to cut it. It was perfectly tender and delicious!
