ASIAN POT ROAST IN AN INSTANT POT®

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil; when hot, add chuck roast and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove roast and set aside. Add remaining olive oil to the pot. Add onion, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add water, tamari, stevia, and bouillon cube.
• Return roast to the pot. Close and lock the lid; set pressure to High and set the timer for 60 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove roast and transfer to a plate.
• Add red bell peppers to the pot and whisk in arrowroot. Set pot to Saute mode; cook and stir until sauce is thickened and bell peppers are softened, about 5 minutes. Return roast to pot; stir until heated through, about 3 minutes more. Top with chopped cilantro.

JAPANESE PORK POT ROAST

Steps:

• In a sturdy Dutch oven, brown the pork evenly in the oil over medium-high heat. Add the liquids and reduce the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Add the ginger and leeks or scallions, salt, peppercorns, and partially cover the pot.
• Braise the pork, turning it occasionally, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add more water when necessary to make sure the meat is at least half covered by liquid throughout the cooking. Remove the meat and slice it. For paper-thin slices, wait until the meat has cooled to room temperature, then chill it an hour before cutting. Strain the braising liquid and discard all solids before using.

ASIAN PORK ROAST

Steps:

• You'll need 2 heavy-duty large plastic bags; place one inside the other, then place roast inside inner bag.
• In bowl, combine all other roast ingredients and mix well; pour over the roast in the bag.
• Press out any air, tie it up with a twist-tie or elastic band, and place in a large bowl and stash in your fridge.

• Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
• Remove roast from bag, discarding marinade.
• Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan and roast until pork reaches internal temp of 170F (75C) and juice is no longer pink-- about 3 hours.
• Let stand for about 15 minutes before carving to allow juices to settle back into meat.
• To make the sauce, combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until jelly melts.
• Stir well and serve with pork.
