Incredibly Good Pot Roast
- 1 large chuck roast, with lots of marbeling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 vidalia onions, sliced thin
- salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic (about 2 cloves, to taste)
- 12 ounces porter (dark beer)
- 14 ounces one can beef broth
- Dry the roast on both sides and sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Heat oil in 5 qt dutch over (the kind that you can use on top of the stove-cast iron or la crueset is best).
- Brown chuck on both sides, remove from pan and set aside.
- Add sliced onions to the same pan and cook over medium heat until carmelized.
- This will take a little time, but be patient, it is worth it.
- Dont allow the onions to burn.
- I would guesstimate it will take approx 30 minutes.
- Now add the garlic and stir it around, cook for about a full minute.
- Place the roast on top of the onions, pour the beer and the broth over top and cover, allowing to cook on medium for the next 2 hours.
- Optional -- at the hour mark, you can add quartered potatoes and carrots if you want.
- We prefer to serve this over mashed potatoes though, the gravy is fab.
