Ingredients for Asian Pot Roast
- Pot Roast
- Vegetable Oil
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 medium head of cabbage, shredded

How to Make Asian Pot Roast
- Pat the beef roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- Add minced garlic and ginger to the pot and saute for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in soy sauce and brown sugar.
- Pour in 1 cup of water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and cook for approximately 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the pot during the last 7 minutes of cooking time. Stir to combine and allow to steam.
- 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.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
