Cutting the meat into cubes helps it to cook faster and more evenly. The roast won't cook in the given time unless it is cut into cubes.

Hey friend! Can you please add amount of cornstarch for the thickening slurry? Thanks!
Kate
Thank you! It's there now. You may find that you need to adjust the amounts slightly depending on how thick you'd like the sauce to be. It will just be a 1:1 ratio of cornstarch and cool water.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Kate
Hi! I haven't made this in a slow cooker, but I would guess so! When I make slow cooker dishes with vegetables and carrots, I add them in toward the end of the cooking time so that they don't get overcooked.
