Materials

  • - 2 lbs beef chuck roast
  • - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • - 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • - 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • - 4 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 inch ginger grated
  • - 4 large potatoes peeled and cubed
  • - 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • - 2 tablespoons butter
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 1 pound green beans trimmed
  • - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add soy sauce, hoisin sauce, half the minced garlic, and ginger. Marinate the beef chuck roast for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a large oven-safe saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Saute the marinated meat on all sides until golden brown.
  • Cover the saucepan and put it in the preheated oven. Roast for 3-4 hours, until the meat is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
  • To make the mashed potatoes, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add heavy cream, butter, the remaining garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  • Blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes in boiling water, then drain and rinse under cold water to halt the cooking process.
  • Serve the pot roast on a bed of creamy garlic mashed potatoes, with green beans on the side. Garnish with sesame seeds.
