Thai Peanut Pot Roast
Thai Peanut Pot Roast features a chuck roast simmered with carrots in a sauce of peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and aromatic spices like garlic and ginger. The roast becomes tender after slow cooking, and broccoli added near the end steams until bright and crisp-tender. The dish finishes with chopped peanuts and cilantro, offering a mix of creamy, savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.
