Ingredients
Instructions
- Rub the chuck roast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic.
- Place the roast in a glass bowl, add sherry, ginger, pepper, and sliced green onions. Chill overnight.
- Remove the meat from the marinade and brown in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan.
- Transfer the browned meat to a crock-pot. Add 1/2 cup of the marinade to the crock-pot and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.
- In a saucepan, add the remaining 1/2 cup of marinade and cook to reduce the juice.
- Serve the sliced roast with the cooked juice.
Tips & Substitutions
For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the chuck roast for up to 24 hours instead of overnight. You can substitute the sherry with red wine or beef broth if preferred. If you want a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the reduced juice before serving. Remember to adjust the cooking time based on the size of your roast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Pacific Pot Roast with creamy mashed potatoes or alongside Barley And Wild Rice Pilaf for a hearty meal. A side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad complements the rich flavors well. For a unique twist, consider serving it on Finn Bread for a delicious sandwich option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the sliced roast in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of the reserved cooking juice to keep it moist. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, covered, until warmed through.
