Here we are again in the deep dark depths of winter with short grey days, comfort food calls. I love long slow cooked meat, that is really my comfort food, so on Sunday I had a lean beef pot roast that I wanted to cook for Sunday dinner and to make things even simpler I used the slow cooker. I wanted to inject some flavour and so decided to try cooking a pot roast with asian flavours, specifically 5 spice powder.
This fed 6
3lb pot roast
2 tablespoons of 5 spice powder
1 large onion sliced
2 garlic cloves sliced
thumb size piece of ginger finely chopped
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1/4 cup of mirin
small bunch of cilantro
Rub the beef with the five spice powder and a little salt.
Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the beef on top and add the remaining ingredients.
