Chinese Pot Roast

Chinese Pot Roast recipe image
This comforting Chinese Pot Roast transforms affordable chuck roast into melt-in-your-mouth tender slices.

The resulting sauce is thickened to a glossy consistency, perfect for spooning over the beef or rice. It&# 226;€™s an ideal dish for cold evenings or when you want a hearty, restaurant-quality meal at home. Although the prep is simple, the long simmering time allows the connective tissues to break down, resulting in a luxurious texture that feels indulgent yet approachable.

Ingredients
  • 3 lbs Chuck roast
  • 1/2 cups Burgundy wine
Directions
  1. 1
    Trim excess fat from the chuck roast and cut into 1.5-inch thick slices if needed, or keep whole if the pan allows.
  2. 2
    Pat the beef dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
  3. 3
    Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. 4
    Sear the beef on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  5. 5
    In the same pan, sauté sliced fresh mushrooms until they release their moisture and brown slightly.
  6. 6
    Return the beef to the pan, nestling it among the mushrooms.
  7. 7
    Combine the bottled stir-fry sauce, Burgundy wine, and 1/4 cup water in a bowl.
  8. 8
    Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and mushrooms.
  9. 9
    Cover the pan, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 1 hour and 40 minutes.
  10. 10
    Check occasionally to ensure the liquid is simmering, adding a splash of water if it reduces too much.
  11. 11
    After 1 hour 40 minutes, add any remaining mushrooms if not used earlier, and simmer covered for another 15 minutes until beef is fork-tender.
  12. 12
    Carefully remove the beef to a warm platter and tent with foil.
  13. 13
    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water to create a slurry.
  14. 14
    Bring the pan juices to a boil.
  15. 15
    Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the gravy thickens and becomes glossy.
  16. 16
    Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips.
  17. 17
    Serve the sliced beef topped with the mushroom gravy.
