This Paleo pork roast slow cooker recipe with a sugar-free chimichurri sauce recipe is so wonderful my husband drinks it. Seriously! Last night I was making a pastured pork roast for dinner and I think it’s wonderful by itself. It’s sooo much better than regular pork and so much healthier. But I was in the mood to put a sauce on it but my husband doesn’t eat any sugar, even honey, because of his Type II Diabetes so I didn’t think the regular accompaniment of BBQ sauce would be good.
Then I remembered that I’ve made this Chimichurri sauce before. My husband loved it. I mean, really loved it. He wanted to drink it. This is a highly unusual response from my husband. So next time you are making paleo pork roast, try this recipe for Chimichurri sauce to go with it. The Chimichurri sauce makes this Paleo pork roast slow cooker better than ever.
Have you tried pastured pork before? I’m spoiled where I live because I live close to Real Foods Market, which is like the Mecca of pastured beef, pork, raw milk and the best free range eggs ever! They are also the owners of Real Salt and Redmond Clay.
If you eat Paleo and you have not stopped eating regular salt, you really need to research Real Salt and consider it because the crappy salt from the store (even sea salt) is not the same stuff they had in the Paleolithic Age. Regular salt is processed and has a lot of unhealthy additives. Real Salt tastes awesome and only has good stuff. It’s actually healthy for you, unlike regular salt, which is very not healthy for you.
I’ve made this Paleo pork roast slow cooker for our family so many times and the whole family loves it. My husband and I love tons of the sauce poured over it. It’s nice for a change to have something that tastes so good that we can have as much as we want since it doesn’t have sugar of any kind in it.
I also love using the crockpot and the leftovers for this pork roast are really, really good and versatile. You can eat the roast plain, with BBQ sauce, on a sandwich, on a salad or you can bake it and make it crispy, kind of like bacon.

This looks perfect for our keto diet! Is the nutrition information for the roast as well as the chimichurri sauce or just the roast?
Rebecca
Just the roast.
Jessica
Delicious!!!

I’m glad you like it!

This is my favorite recipe for crock pot roast. I don’t like the veggies cooked forever so I usually just cook the roast in the crock pot and then cook the veggies in my steamer. The chimichurri sauce is to die for. Seriously

Making this tomorrow. It says cook time is 12 hours but I’m only counting 8 in the recipe. Tell me what I’m missing! Thanks!
Rebecca
Oops. The 12 hours was just totally wrong. I fixed it now. Thanks for asking so I could fix it for other people.
Tiffany
I didn’t add any liquids when I put the roast in. I’ve never made roast…do I just shred the meat in the juice or toss the juice since we have the chimichuri sauce?
Rebecca
Yes so you just dispose of the juice and shred the roast. The juice to soak in the flavor while it is cooking.
Valerie
Hi, can you tell me what you did as a side? This looks delicious. Putting it on my menu for next week (:
Rebecca

Do you slow cook it just with that salt and then add the sauce when you serve it? Thanks!
Rebecca
Yes! Super-easy.
