Categories     Roast Beef

Time 9h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs pot roast, boneless
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 large onions, chopped
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Dip roast in flour and brown on both sides in oil in a saucepan.
  • Place meat in slow cooker and top with onions.
  • Combine soy sauce, water and ginger and pour over the meat.
  • Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook for 8-10 hours.
  • Slice and serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or brisket are both good choices for pot roast, as they are tough cuts that will become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the beef before braising: Browning the beef in a hot pan before braising it will add flavor and color to the dish.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables to the pot roast will add flavor and nutrition. Some good choices include carrots, potatoes, celery, and onions.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give the pot roast its flavor, so use a combination of liquids that you enjoy. Some good choices include beef broth, red wine, and soy sauce.
  • Cook the pot roast on low heat for a long time: The key to a tender pot roast is to cook it on low heat for a long time. This will allow the collagen in the beef to break down and the meat to become fall-apart tender.

Conclusion:

Chinese pot roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make a pot roast that is tender, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table.
