Citrus-ginger pot roast

October 23, 2010
March 30, 2013
Beef chuck pot roast
2 ½ to 3 pounds
Salt & pepper
Cooking oil
2 tablespoons
Onions, medium,
sliced and separated into rings
2
Orange juice
1 cup
Carrot, chunked
1 cup
Ginger root, grated
(or ginger, ground)
2 teaspoons
(1/2 teaspoon)
Garlic
2 cloves
Cornstarch
4 teaspoons
Soy sauce
2 tablespoons
  1. Trim fat from the roast.
  2. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. In a Dutch oven, brown the roast on all sides in hot oil. Drain.
  4. Add onions, orange juice, carrot, ginger, and garlic.
  5. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a medium-low.
  6. Return roast to pot, cover and simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours, until tender.
  7. Transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving dish.
  8. Mix cornstarch and soy sauce together, add to the pot, and stir until it starts to thicken into a bubbly sauce.
  9. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
  10. Pour into gravy boat, and serve aside the roast.
Recommendation: Use a cast iron Dutch oven, if possible. Having fixed this dish numerous times with different types of pots, the roast and vegetables cook better and the gravy thickens perfectly when I use cast iron (thanks to my aunt Kay for the gift!).
    Serves: 6 to 8
    Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

    1. It didn't make enough gravy, which was so awesome I wanted to eat it on everything. But man this was so good and so easy.
