Condiments, oh condiments! Just because you eat Paleo, it doesn't mean that you have to miss out on great-tasting food: broiled in, baked in, smothered in a juicy, luscious sauce.
This slow cooker tenderloin asks for homemade ketchup, and we have scrumptious recipes for both Paleo ketchup and mustard; once you make it at home, you will never be tempted to buy from the store again.
Also, take note of the coconut aminos. Exactly what are they, and why do you need to add them to your food? Coconut aminos are slightly salty and sweet in flavor, and they come from coconut sap.
They are reminiscent of a light soy sauce but without the soy or gluten, and again getting back to the Paleo condiments, you must have this secret sauce. You can add it to salad dressing, stir-fries, soups, stews... it stirs up all emotions of flavors.
You will want to pair this sweetly slow-roasted tenderloin with a refreshing Creamy Cucumber Salad that can be quickly sliced and served up in under 15 minutes.
If you have a few extra minutes to spare for dinner preparation, we suggest some Grilled Sweet Potatoes liven up your meal - and if you happen to have leftovers, know that they are going to taste amazing the following day.
