Categories Roast Beef

Time 2h10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs boneless chuck roast
2 medium onions, cut in half and sliced
2 bottles dark stout beer, Guinness
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch
salt and pepper
olive oil

Steps:

Heat a large Dutch oven and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
If you have a big piece of meat, cut it in half or in quarters.
On high heat, brown each side of the meat and sear it so you get burnt little bits stuck to the bottom of your pan. This will create deep flavor!
Add the onions all around the meat, and saute for a few minutes, or until the onions begin to soften. Turn the heat to medium if the onions are scorching, but keep stirring them around.
Once the onions are near translucent, pour both bottles of Guinness over the meat.
Add the thyme and other spices and stir.
Cover and cook on low heat, simmering, for about 2 hours. At this point, your meat should shred slightly when poked with a fork. If it doesn't, let it cook for another half hour, and check again.
Once the meat is at the just shredding point, make a slurry of the cornstarch and a bit of water and poor into the pot and gently stir.
The sauce should thicken a bit as it continues to cook over the next few minutes.
Season the gravy with salt and pepper to your liking.
Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies for true comfort food!

Guinness Beer Beef Chuck Roast Recipe image

Provided by Sandy

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2-3 lbs. beef chuck roast
Salt and pepper
3 large onions (coarsely chopped)
6 large carrots (cut in 1-inch chunks (leave peel on))
4 Tbsp. olive oil (divided)
3 large garlic cloves (crushed)
2 Tbsp. flour (optional, for patting the beef before browning)
1 small can tomato paste (dissolved in 1 1/2 cups of hot water)
2 Tbsp. instant coffee (use a good quality)
1-2 tsp. chili red pepper flakes (optional, depending on how much spice you like)
1 can 14 oz. Guinness beer (about 2 cups)
Sprigs of basil or thyme

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. (Or you can also use stove top or crock-pot.)
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a wide frying pan over a high heat. Brown the meat on all sides; heavily salt and pepper both sides. [Optional to pat the beef with flour before browning for a thicker gravy.]
Remove the meat and set aside.
In a separate small bowl, add to 1 1/2 cups of hot water the tomato paste, instant coffee, and chili flakes. Mix well.
In the same frying pan, heat the remaining oil and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, adding the tomato paste mixture. Mix together and cook for a few minutes (will be thick).
Chop the onions, and place in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Place the cooked piece of meat on top. Spread the paste on top of the meat. Add fresh herbs for additional flavor.
Place the chopped carrots on top of the meat and sauce. Pour the Guinness beer around the meat.
