Preparation
-
1.Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
2.In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, miso paste, and mirin to create a marinade.

-
6.In a saucepan, combine the dashi stock and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly.
-
7.Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
8.Serve the sliced roast with the roasted vegetables, steamed rice, and a drizzle of the reduced sauce. Garnish with finely chopped green onions.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef or pork roast — Choose a well-marbled cut for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Dashi stock — If you can't find dashi stock, you can substitute it with vegetable or chicken stock for a slightly different flavor profile.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra umami boost, you can add a sprinkle of bonito flakes or sesame seeds on top of the dish before serving.
- If you prefer a sweeter glaze for the roasted vegetables, you can add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the sauce mixture.
Serving advice
Serve the Nagoya-style Sunday Roast as the centerpiece of a meal, accompanied by steamed rice and a side of pickled vegetables. It pairs well with a refreshing green salad to balance the richness of the dish.
Presentation advice
Arrange the sliced roast on a platter, surrounded by the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the reduced sauce over the meat and vegetables for an appetizing presentation. Garnish with a sprinkle of finely chopped green onions for a pop of color.
