Black pepper
1 medium onion, chopped fine (food processor)
1 large carrot, chopped fine (food processor)
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine (food processor)

1/3 cup ketchup
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1. Sprinkle the meat with black pepper, rubbing it in with your fingers.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients in the crock pot, reserving the salt and sugar. Marinate the meat overnight in the refrigerator.
