Pot roast couldn’t be easier—or tastier—when you cook it slowly and add the umami boost of soy sauce. Winter root vegetables like turnips, parsnips and rutabagas can also be cooked along with the beef.

1 tablespoon garlic powder
½ tablespoon black pepper
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce
½ cup water
3 carrots, chunked
3 potatoes, peeled and large cubed
3 celery stalks, chunked
1 small onion, chunked
Season chuck roast with garlic powder and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil.
Brown chuck roast on all sides. Place in a slow cooker and add remaining
ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours.
