ASIAN STYLE POT ROAST



Asian Style Pot Roast image

Meltingly tender, slow-braised Garlic & Ginger Pot Roast with lovely mellow carrots, potatoes, and green onions. This is braised in the oven, not a slow-cooker. Sometimes things are worth the effort, this is one of those things!

Number Of Ingredients 14

3-4 pound boneless chuck roast
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil
3 inch piece of fresh ginger root (cut in half and smashed with the side of a knife to break it up a bit)
6 cloves of garlic (peeled and lightly smashed with the side of a knife)
4 cups beef broth or stock
2 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
1-2 pounds small (red potatoes, scrubbed and halved)
3 medium size carrots (peeled and cut diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces)
6 green onions (washed and trimmed of the root end)
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed into 1/4 cup water
Hot (cooked rice or noodles)
soy sauce
toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
  • Place a large, heavy, oven-safe pan with a tight fitting lid over high heat. When the pan is very hot, add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is shimmery, lay the chuck roast down on the hot pan and do not move it for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, lift the corner of the roast to see whether it has a dark brown surface. If it does not, continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes before flipping to cook the other side the same way. After the roast is well-browned on both sides, toss in the ginger and garlic, pour in the broth or stock and the fish or soy sauce, put the lid in place and put the covered pan in the preheated oven. Leave it alone without peeking in the pan for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, scatter the potatoes, carrots, and onions around the roast in the pan, replace the lid and cook for another hour or until the beef, potatoes, and carrots are all fork-tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a bowl (fishing out and discarding the pieces of ginger.) Use tongs to transfer the roast to a cutting board and lightly tent it with foil to prevent it from drying.
  • You can cut the roast, drizzle the pan sauces over it, and serve it with the vegetables immediately, or you can thicken the sauces before serving. If desired, drizzle with soy sauce and toasted sesame oil.

HONEY-SOY BRAISED PORK WITH LIME AND GINGER



Honey-Soy Braised Pork With Lime and Ginger image

This is a wonderfully simple and hands-off way to prepare a flavorful hunk of meat, equally suited to a weeknight or a dinner party. There is no need to brown the pork first because the meat gets appealingly dark and caramelized while braising in the rich combination of soy sauce and honey. Fresh cilantro, scallions and a squeeze of lime added just before serving bring freshness. This meal is flexible: It works over rice or other whole grains, tossed with noodles or wrapped in lettuce leaves.

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 4 pounds boneless, skinless pork shoulder, trimmed of big hunks of fat and cut into 2 pieces
8 large garlic cloves, smashed and finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (from one 3-inch piece)
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest and 2 tablespoons juice (from 1 lime), plus more lime wedges for serving
1 cup tamari or low-sodium soy sauce (see Tip)
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Cooked rice, noodles or lettuce cups, for serving
Toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions and chopped cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the pork in a large Dutch oven that has a lid. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey and sesame oil, then pour it over the pork. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger is on top of the pork. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook for 2 hours.
  • Uncover the pot and flip both chunks of pork. Cover the pot and braise until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 1 more hour. Transfer to the stovetop.
  • Using tongs, transfer the pork to a serving platter or a large shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim and discard the excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid remaining in the Dutch oven, if desired. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, about 8 minutes.
  • While the sauce simmers, coarsely shred the pork using two forks. Sprinkle the lime juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, then toss to combine. Serve over rice or noodles or in lettuce cups. Top with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, as well as extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 to 5 pounds top round or other economical cut of beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
12 ounces beer, preferably stout
4 potatoes, chopped
2 carrots, sliced

Steps:

  • Bring the meat to room temperature, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a paper towel. Combine the garlic, mustard, ginger, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce. Spread the mixture on the meat and set aside to marinate, refrigerated, for 1 hour.
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the meat and cook until browned on all sides, being careful not to burn it. Add the onion and cook until it wilts and darkens, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the beer. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, adding water as needed. Add the potatoes and carrots and cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender and the meat is easily cut, about 3 minutes.

SLOW COOKER HONEY-SOY BRAISED PORK WITH LIME AND GINGER



Slow Cooker Honey-Soy Braised Pork With Lime and Ginger image

Here to save your weeknight life: a slow-cooker main that's truly "set-it-and-forget-it," with results that taste like they required significantly more effort. This rich and flavorful pork takes about 5 minutes to throw together in the morning. Before dinner, just simmer the sauce - a sweet-salty mix of soy and honey - until it's syrupy, shred the meat, add a flurry of fresh herbs and you're done. The meat is a wonderfully simple anchor, and you can build a meal around it: Add lettuce cups and kimchi or serve it over rice, whole grains or even tortillas.

Time 8h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 4 pounds boneless, skinless pork shoulder, trimmed of big hunks of fat and cut in half
8 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (from one 3-inch piece)
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest and 2 tablespoons juice (from 1 lime), plus more lime wedges for serving
1 cup tamari or low-sodium soy sauce (see Tip)
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Cooked rice, noodles or lettuce cups, for serving
Toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions and chopped cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Place the pork in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey and sesame oil, then pour it over the pork. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger is on top of the pork. Cover and cook on low until the pork is very tender and shreds easily with a fork, 8 to 9 hours; it will hold well on warm. (If you are home and able to flip the pork once during cooking, that will help the flavors distribute evenly on the meat and make the color uniform. If not, it will be fine.)
  • Using tongs, transfer the pork from the slow cooker to a serving platter or large, shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid, if desired. Carefully pour the sauce into a large pot. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely shred the pork using two forks.
  • Sprinkle the lime juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, tossing to evenly combine. Serve over rice or noodles or in lettuce cups. Top with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, as well as extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.
