"This dish provides a very tender roast with a German flavor appeal. Great served with mashed potatoes or spaetzle. Parslied carrots and red cabbage will make this dish very authentic."

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 (4 pound) beef pot roast
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 onions, sliced
1 cup beer
1 cup beef stock
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; brown the pot roast on all sides in the hot Dutch oven, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Mix the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic, and nutmeg together in a small bowl; spread evenly over the browned pot roast. Layer the onion slices atop the pot roast. Pour the beer and beef stock over the pot roast; season with salt and black pepper. Cover the Dutch oven.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until completely tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Remove the cover from the Dutch oven during the final 20 minutes of cooking time. Transfer the roast to a platter, and cover with aluminum foil; allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the meat rests, whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; stir the cornstarch slurry into the juices left in the Dutch oven. Place the Dutch oven over medium heat; bring the gravy to a low boil, and cook and stir until thickened. Serve on the side as gravy, or slice the beef and pour over the slices on a platter.
