Sweet Mustard Roast (Beef Or Pork) Slow Cooker Recipe
This is a super simple recipe that will dazzle your family and friends when you serve dinner. A simple pork or beef roast becomes fall apart tender after slow cooking all day in a mixture of molasses, dijon mustard, and some vinegar.
The vinegar really helps to tenderize the meat -- you can easily use a forgotten and frostbitten pork or beef roast for this one!
Throw it all in the crockpot, push a button, and walk away.
I made this roast over a month ago, but I'm just now posting it. AGH!
I used a frozen beef roast for the meat, but when I shared the recipe over the phone with a friend, she made it a few days later with a pork roast and loved how it turned out.
So this is a double-decker recipe!! Feel free to use beef or pork -- whatever you already have in the freezer.
The Ingredients.
serves 4
3 pounds beef or pork roast (mine was still frozen when I put it in)
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons white vinegar (apple cider vinegar would work well, too)
The Directions.
Use a 4 quart slow cooker for best results.
If you have a larger model, that's fine, but you won't need to cook it as long---I'd check after 5 hours on low.
Dump meat into cooker. Top with molasses, dijon, and vinegar.
Toss in the garlic powder. Using tongs, flip the meat over a few times to coat it nicely with the sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for about 4.
The meat will be more tender if you cook it on low for a longish time.
The Verdict.
I served this meat the night we got our Christmas tree.
I have video of the kids eating the meat and making enak noises while we were trying to untangle the lights.
It was a fun night, and the meal was successful.
I served mashed potatoes and green beans for sides, and they were a nice compliment.
Enjoy! Happy Slow Cooking!!
