- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
-
Gingersnap gravy (use 1 cup strained marinade)
- 1⁄3 cup broken ginger snaps
directions
- Add all ingredients for marinade and the roast in a large glass bowl ONLY use GLASS(sis uses a punch bowl) as I think during the long marinating time there would be a reaction of some sort to your pan also cuts hers in half or thirds depending on the size of her roast.
- Cover with plastic wrap.NOT foil.and refrigerate for 3 to 4 days.MAKE SURE ALL MEAT is completely SUBMERGED.
- On 3rd or 4th day remove roast from marinade(keep the marinade).
- Pat roast dry with paper towel --.
- In dutch oven add about 2 Tbs oil and brown the meat.
- Strain the marinade and add the liquid back to the dutch oven with the meat( she also picks out the onions and adds those in too). Cook over med heat 2 1/2 to 3 hours, depending on how big your roast is. She always has a large 7 pound or so.
- GINGERSNAP GRAVY.
- 1 cup strained marinade.
- 1/3 cup crushed /crumbled gingersnaps.
- Hint:the measurements for the gravy are for per 1 cup of gravy -- we use /measure all remaining marinade after cooking and straining and go from there as we LOVE this thick tangy gravy.
- After roast is done & while it is "resting".
- Measure the leftover marinade.
- (used for the marinating/cooking) for every 1 cup marinade.
- You add 1/3 cup gingersnaps (broken) cook marinade & gingersnaps over med heat till it is gravy -- doesn't take long.
- This gravy is my absolute FAVORITE.
