About Me

I am 28 year old mortgage broker, recently married to the greatest guy ever AND I am a huge foodie! My life is a zoo, literally - we own two dogs, two cats and a tank full of fish. Along with the pets, and work keeping us busy, both of us are avid Crossfitters and weightlifters. I started this blog to share my adventures in cooking paleo. There will be lots of experiments....some won't go well and others will be great! Hope you enjoy my adventures!

Best Roast Ever!!!

So I was so excited when I got my Primal Blueprint Cookbook in the mail the other day!
Tons of yummy recipes!
Now...when I cook...I follow a recipes to an extent and then I improvise with what I have on hand.
This is my version of "Italian Pot Roast"

4 lb beef or bison chuck roast resting at room temp for an hour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
In a roasting pan toss in 2 large onions sliced, 3 garlic cloves (more if you like garlic), 1 cup of beef stock (or chicken or water), 2 cups diced tomatoes (I cheated and used canned..but fresh would be yummy too), and 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar. 
I tossed the roast in and spooned some of the liquid mixture over the roast.

I slow roasted this baby for 2 - 2 1/2 hours..depending on how you like your roast cooked...and you will have the best roast ever!
The balsamic vinegar thickened up with the onions and tomatoes to make this delicious sauce.  The roast is fork tender and moist!
My hubby said it was the best roast ever...and I took leftovers to my dad today for lunch...and he said it was "okay"...but I could tell he loved it!

 Sorry no pics!  It got gobbled up fast.
Enjoy~
