Woman claims bunging a can of Coke and beef in a slow cooker is the key to the perfect roast
A ROAST is typical of a traditional British dinner but with varying methods and secret ingredients, how do you decide the best way to cook it?
One home cook claims adding a can of Coke into the slow cooker with the beef is key, but many others are perplexed by the bizarre technique.
The woman shared her recipe in the Slow Cooker Recipe & Tips , hailing it "easily the best roast" she has ever made for its flavour and tenderness.
But if you think the Coke is strange enough, she also adds in a can of mushroom soup as well a pack of a dry onion soup mix for a the ultimate flavour hit.
The experimental cook said she's tried "at least nine" different recipes to create the perfect roast beef but claims none compare to the soup and Coke method that has now become her "go-to, never-look-back, make-once-a-week-miracle."
After pouring the soft drink and the soup into the slow cooker, she explained: "Put the roast in (2-3 lbs, well marbled is best) then sprinkle the seasoning packet on top of the roast. I flip it half way. The longer you can roast the better. I do 12 hours on high."
But not everyone was convinced by her method, with many expressing their concerns and reluctance to allow to typically good cut of meat to simmer in a can of "diluted sugar".
"Look at that lovely piece of beef," one person wrote," I know - I'll pour loads of diluted sugar all over it. Not for me, thanks,
Ingredients aside, some people were even confused about the cooking time of 12 hours which is more than four times the accepted roasting time.
Beef is typically cooked for between two and two-and-a-half hours if you want a medium finish, otherwise three hours for well done.
But the woman claimed that her usual dry cut of meat was due to under cooking and says the longer you cook it the better.
