If you’ve been following me for a bit, you’d already know I have developed quite the fondness for my slow cooker.
Prior to attempting this dish, though, I had never made a Beef Pot Roast in the slow cooker. I wasn’t sure how well it would turn out – but as with most things slow cooker, there isn’t too much that can go wrong!
In short: it was absolutely amazing. This recipe was so tasty that I had to share it with you.
Apart from the awesome texture of the beef, the real wow factor of this dish is the Worcestershire sauce. I found an amazing recipe for a healthy Worcestershire sauce over at Paleo Table and I have amended it slightly, with the inclusion of Coconut Vinegar ‘Balsamic’ Style, which can be found at your local health food shop or online.
I have been making quite a few meals using my slow cooker lately, so far my favourites include Osso Bucco, Cashew Chicken and this Beef Pot Roast.
I hope you like my recipe as much as my family and I did.
