Main Ingredients
- 2.5 to 3 pounds chuck roast
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic, stirring until the sugar dissolves to create a flavorful glaze.
- Slow cook the roast: Place the chuck roast in a slow cooker and pour the prepared sauce over it to coat evenly. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Glaze and finish: Once cooked, remove the roast and place it on a cutting board. Optional: spoon some reserved sauce from the slow cooker over the roast and, if desired, briefly broil or pan-sear to create a sticky glaze exterior.
- Serve sliced: Slice the roast against the grain and serve warm, spooning additional sauce as desired alongside your favorite sides.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, marinate the chuck roast in the sauce overnight before slow cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the reserved sauce on the stovetop until syrupy before glazing the roast.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice, sautéed greens, or roasted vegetables.
- Leftovers can be shredded and used in sandwiches or tacos.
