ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

directions

  • 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.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Mom with two grown kids, daughter 17 and son 22. Daughter is incredibly picky to the point of watching me cook to be sure there is nothing she wont eat in the menu and inspecting each forkfull before she eats it and wont eat anything with onions or the aroma of onions or if there is an onion any where near her food or within 50 miles. Dinners can be very stressful. I absolutely LOVE to cook, and love to try new foods. We lead pretty busy lives, so quick healthy and tasty earns big points. Though not a diabetic I am on the diabetes exchange diet in an effort to drop 20 lbs and I am almost at my goal, only 3 more lbs to go!!
