Beat The Heat

Never think of using your slow cooker in the summer? It’s something you should think about because you can make great dinners without heating your kitchen. This is especially good if your family is craving good old comfort food. Comfort food is one of those year-round things so this is where your slow cooker comes in handy.

So if your family is craving some delicious pot roast, here’s a great recipe for one that’s very easy, uses a minimum of ingredients and tastes fantastic.

Hoisin Pot Roast?

I bet you never thought of hoisin sauce and pot roast together.

Admittedly, it’s not the standard flavoring used in most pot roasts, but that’s exactly why you should be thinking of the two things together.

Hoisin sauce is well known as an Asian condiment and it’s readily available in any supermarket. You’ll find it where the soy sauce is kept. It’s thick and sweet, but not overly so. It also has a pleasant slight tartness and that is a perfect medium for the bold flavor of beef.

In fact, the cooking liquid is just hoisin sauce and a bit of water. You can’t get much simpler than that.

The Meat

This roast is tastiest when made with either chuck or rump roast as they are the most flavorful cuts. Other cuts may be used, but you’re wise to keep to the two that I mentioned.

If you plan to use chuck, the cook time is dependent on the shape. For instance, if you have what looks like a thick steak, then your pot roast will be done quicker than 8 hours. On the other hand if it’s shaped like a lump, it will require the full 8-10 hours of cook time.

    You wrote cook on low 8 to 19 hours. Surely it should read 8 to 9 hours, right?
