Ingredients

1 (4 pound) beef roast 5 whole jalapeno peppers, or more to taste 1 cup soy sauce 1 cup brown sugar ¼ cup water

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef roast and brown it on all sides, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes per side. After it’s nicely browned, transfer the roast to your slow cooker. Toss in the jalapenos for a bit of heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, and water, then pour this mixture over the roast. Cover and cook on low for around 8 hours, turning the roast once or twice during cooking to make sure it stays tender and flavorful.

Cook's tip

- Use a low and steady heat to ensure the meat becomes tender without drying out.

Serving ideas

Storage & leftovers

Allow the meat to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze portions and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently.
