It seemed simple enough and I was eager to use to my new slow-cooker--Thanks mom, I'll bring it back!
Well country-style ribs are hella expensive this week for some reason so I bought a rump-roast instead and changed up the recipe. I ditched the pineapple (not so sure about pineapple and rump-roast) and added carrots, real ginger and some funky crystallized brown sugar I found at the Walgreens. They didn't have packed brown sugar and I sadly don't have my car on campus.
Then I went to work. I prepared the sauce--which tasted yummy (even with my crystallized brown sugar) and I seared the meat. But it was not until immediately after I seared the meat I realize that that whole pot-roast was not going to fit in my one-two serving sized Crock-pot. Sad day 8 (.
But ever resilient I sliced (well angrily hacked) that hunk of meat in twain and put half in the Crockpot and chopped up half into tiny steak-bites for salads and sandwiches later. I finished my little chunks-o-meaty goodness in the pan and they are now happily sitting in the fridge.
As for my other half of beef, it is simmering nicely in the cooker and smells DELIGHTFUL (great call on the fresh ginger mom 8 ).
So all in all good day. Can't wait for dinner in like 4-6hrs. Pictures to come.
