Directions
Gently heat 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.
Best Foods To Serve With This
Serve with steamed rice and a side of fresh kimchi or pickled vegetables to balance the rich flavors. A simple green salad or sautéed bok choy also pairs nicely, adding a fresh and crisp contrast to the meal.
How To Store 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.
