Crock Pot Balsamic Roast (Paleo) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

RUB
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
ROAST
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 lbs top round beef roast
1 large sweet onion, sliced into rings
8 ounces tomato sauce
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons white wine

Preparation

Mix dry spices and season all sides of the roast generously. (The amounts of each spice in the rub are a general measure, adjust to your tastes).
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Once it's warm, sear each side of your roast for 3-4 minutes or until browned.
Place your sliced onions in the bottom of your crock pot and put your seared meat on top of the onions.
Combine your balsamic vinegar and tomato sauce in a bowl and mix well, then pour over your meat in the crock pot.
Add your water and white wine to your pan and de-glaze it.
Pour this mixture in your crock pot as well.
Place the lid on, set to low and cook for 6-8 hours.
