Asian Pot Roast
1-14.5 oz can chicken broth (or equivalent homemade)
2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, peeled and halve
1/2 C. Soy sauce
2.5 -3 lb. lean boneless beef pot roast or beef top round steak, trimmed of fat and cut into 3 or 4 chunks
2 large onions, sliced and separated into rings
1/4 cup Flour
In a 3.5 or 4 quart crockpot, mix together the chicken broth, ginger, garlic and soy sauce. Place the beef chunks in the broth mixture. Top with onion slices. Cover and cook on Low 8 to 9 hours, or until the beef is tender. If necessary, skim off any fat from the juices. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and 3/4 cup liquid from the crockpot until smooth. Stir the flour mixture back into the liquid in the crockpot. Increase to heat to High and cook, uncovered 30 to 40 minutes longer, or until the sauce is thickened slightly. Cut the meat into slices before serving. Serve the meat and sauce over hot steamed rice along with stir-fried vegetables.
