Beer-Braised Top Blade Roast

• 6 center-cut bacon slices, chopped
• 2 medium onions, vertically sliced
• 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 (2 1/2-pound) top blade roast, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (such as lager)
• 1 1/2 cups unsalted beef stock (such as Swanson)
• 2 fresh rosemary sprigs

1. Heat bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat 4 minutes or until crisp, stirring frequently. Add onion and garlic; cook 8 minutes. Place onion mixture in a bowl.
2. Increase heat to medium-high. Add oil; swirl to coat. Sprinkle beef with 1 table-spoon flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add beef to pan; cook 10 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Add beer to pan; bring to a simmer, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add onion mixture, stock, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and rosemary to pan; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours. Turn beef; cover and cook 2 hours or until very tender. Place beef on a plate, and cover with foil.
3. Remove rosemary from pan; discard. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon flour and 1/4 cup beef cooking liquid in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add flour mixture to pan. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook 3 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Cut beef across the grain into thin slices. Serve with sauce.
