Paleo Crockpot Roast

Paleo Crockpot Roast

I've got a recipe for a pork loin where you slather it in mustard so I started wondering if I could do that with some other meat.  I bought a rump roast this weekend and wanted to put it in the crockpot for the big game.  It turned out so   tender and juicy.  It fell apart as I tried to lift it out of the crockpot.  Not as tender and juicy as some good ol' chips and queso for the game....but it worked.  Gotta stay towards my goals!

Ingredients:
1 rump roast
1 onion
smoked paprika
spicy mustard
one can of diet soda (not Paleo - but that is why there is the 'almost' in my blog name) ha!

1. Cut an onion in half and place it at the bottom of your crockpot.  This will act as a shelf for your roast to sit on.  Sprinkle both sides of your roast with smoked paprika.  Smear the top of your roast with spicy mustard.

3. Pour one can of Diet Coke or whatever diet soda you have on the sides of the roast so that you don't wash the mustard off.   I cooked mine on high for about 5 hours and then on low for the last hour.  I know once I do this again when I have to work, I'll just do it on low all day.

4. It turned out great.  I wouldn't take the meat out and slice it and put it on a plate.  It dries up that way and won't taste as good.  Take your pieces (because it's going to be so tender) and put them in a bowl.  Pour some of the juices on top and enjoy!  By the way - I don't eat the onion....I just use it as a shelf :)
