A1 Inspired Slow Cooker Beef Roast

1 Feb

What’s your favorite condiment? Seriously think about this. If you’re stranded on an island, destined to eat sand and leaves the rest of your life but in true Hunger Games style, you have a sponsor that can donate ONE condiment, what would you request? Mine would be mayo. No question. My husband’s would be A1 steak sauce. So this A1 inspired slow cooker beef roast is obviously right up his ally.

Pin It!

This A1 Inspired Beef Pot Roast is the easiest and tastiest slow cooker meal you'll ever make. Made with all-natural ingredients, it's paleo and Whole30 compliant!Let me tell you about this guy. We will go months without going on a date and FINALLY snag a babysitter (actually monitor-sitter because in reality, our kid is already asleep. Easiest 50 bucks a high school sitter has ever made…) and splurge at the best steakhouse in town. Once that beautiful hunk of meat is served, he’ll ask for a bottle of A1. The look of sheer and utter offense on our waiter’s face is priceless. But that’s my man, he needs his A1.

Because I love him (sometimes most of the time), I decided to create an A1 inspired beef dish just for him. And just for me, I decided the recipe must be super easy, and done in my trusty slow cooker.

Despite having a disgusting large stash A1 bottles in our pantry (heaven forbid we are ever out), I wanted to create a family-winning dinner without all the preservatives. Real food meals. Totally my jam. Mmmm jam, another condiment that rocks my world….

Not only is this protein-packed meal insanely flavorful, it’s paleo, whole30, low-carb, and highly approved (by the A1 guy of course). A1 inspired slow cooker beef roast with blistered tomatoes MUST be on next week’s menu. Trust me on this one. Don’t skip the tomatoes either, even the meat-loving, veggie-hating man in your life will appreciate the flavor flair the tomatoes add to this dish.

You won't believe how simple this slow cooker, A1 inspired beef pot roast is. A perfect low-carb, dairy-free, gluten-free, paleo, and Whole30 dinner the family will love

Replicating A1 sauce is easier than you’d think. Maybe even easier than monitor-sitting! All you need are a few kitchen stables – an orange, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, tomato paste, and coconut aminos (or soy sauce if you aren’t concerned about this being a paleo dish).

Simply combine the liquid ingredients and pour all over the beef chuck roast. Then combine the tomato paste and dijon together and smother it over the top of the roast. Add those pretty ‘lil tomatoes and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Told you it was easy!!!

This paleo and Whole30 roast is packed with flavor. A spin-off of A1, the marinade is made with a few kitchen stables that take this slow cooker pot roast to another level!

Serve the meat by itself or with a big side of mashed potatoes for a totally filling, out-of-this-world, amazing meal the man and littles in your life will love!

    I love the story behind this recipe haha! My favorite condiment is definitely either teriyaki sauce or ketchup. YUM! Anything but mustard, though ;).

    This looks so delicious! Perfect for a rainy day when all you want to do is cuddle up on the couch with a plate of hearty comfort food!

    Your A-1 Inspired Beef Roast looks incredible! I should have eaten a little something first before staring at that gorgeous image. If I was stranded on a desert island I would choose mayo as my one condiment. My daughter Brooke would choose Ranch Dressing or A1. Brooke will not eat steak without it! And I really have to laugh, because I just posted up a sliders recipe on my blog that includes A1 sauce. LOL

      Thanks Denay!A1 is da bomb, you can’t fault anyone for loving it. But mayo, dang I just love my mayo. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy this roast (and your nummy sliders!)

    This was delicious! My husband had two big servings. I accidentally added the mustard and tomato paste to the liquid ingredients, but it was still so good. When I realized, I also added it to the top of the roast. Eeks! Definitely a repeater! I did add carrots to the slow cooker, too and sauteed some mushrooms to go on the side. Hubby and kids had it with mashed potatoes, and I had a sweet potato. Yum!

        I double and triple checked – then went to the store today and got another one and am trying it again tonight- so far its been cooking for 5 hours and its still really tough 🙁 Im so bummed!!! again it smells delicious… I’m turning the heat up to High and hoping that helps for the last hour… booooooo I’m so sad I’m having such trouble- i swear I’m not a terrible cook and never have issues with a roast in the crock pot.

    Was so looking forward to finally trying this but was expecting the meat to kinda fall apart like your picture but it’s super super tough and chewy. It therefore doesn’t taste much like the sauce either. I used a 2.5lb chuck roast and cooked for 5hrs. Bummer!

    • Chrissa says

      March 19, 2018 at 1:38 pm

      Darn! I have no idea why it was so tough for you. Have you cooked chuck roasts in the crockpot in the past? You might need a bit more time to cook if it was still tough. I’m sorry Emily!
