Ingredients
Instructions

- Brown the meat in shortening in a large skillet or pot.
- Pour off the drippings from the meat.
- Add water, honey, soy sauce, and ginger to the skillet.
- Cover tightly and cook slowly at 325°F (163°C) for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender.

Tips & Substitutions
For added depth, consider marinating the pot roast in Teriyaki Marinade For Chicken Or Steaks overnight before cooking. If you want a thicker gravy, reduce the amount of water added at the end. For a healthier option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar, and use olive oil instead of shortening.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the teriyaki pot roast over a bed of rice or alongside mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious gravy. It pairs beautifully with Fried Rice With Peanuts or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds for an extra touch.

Store leftover teriyaki pot roast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, covered, to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the pot roast with other cuts like brisket or round roast. Just ensure they have enough marbling for tenderness. Adjust cooking times based on the size and cut of the meat, as tougher cuts may require longer cooking times.
Is it possible to make this recipe in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! Brown the meat as directed, then transfer it to a slow cooker. Add the sauce ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours until tender. This method can enhance the flavors and make it even easier to prepare.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare it a day in advance. Cook the pot roast as directed, then let it cool and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving. This allows the flavors to meld, making it even tastier the next day!
