Slow Cooker Coffee Roasted Beef

Slow Cooker Coffee Roasted Beef

Grain free, paleo and low carb.

Slow Cooker Coffee Roasted Beef is an easy, savory, pot roast with veggies that is grain free, low carb and healthy. Made with a flavor enhancing coffee marinade. Don’t worry, you can use decaf, if you are avoiding caffeine or have active children, lol. The coffee really brings out the flavor of the roast. I added some onions, celery, parsnips, and butternut squash to the roast for delicious veggie side  dish. I love how the slow cooker makes the meat so tender and juicy, even if I accidentally overcook it.
Yum
