Equipment

  • Crock Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb roast
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar or white vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice one whole onion. You can add a second onion if your family enjoys onions or if you are using a larger roast.
  • In a crock pot, add the roast, ½ cup of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of garlic powder, and 3 tbsp of rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
  • Next, put the sliced onions on top of the roast and cover the crock pot. Set the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours. Timing may vary slightly depending on your crock pot. Beef is considered done when it has an internal temperature of 145 degrees according to the USDA.
  • When done, take the roast out of the crock pot and let rest for about 10 minutes before cutting.
  • Serve hot and with the liquid that the roast cooked in.
