How to Make Asian Pot Roast

  1. Pat the beef roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Add minced garlic and ginger to the pot and saute for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in soy sauce and brown sugar.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and cook for approximately 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  7. Add the shredded cabbage to the pot during the last 7 minutes of cooking time. Stir to combine and allow to steam.
  8. If desired, whisk 2 tablespoons of flour with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the pot roast to thicken the gravy to your desired consistency. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
