Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 lb boneless pot roast (chuck)
  • 3 lbs yellow onions
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup apple vinegar or beef stock
  • 2 1/2 cups beef stock
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or gluten-free AP flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Dutch oven over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the pot roast with salt and pepper. Sear on all sides until browned, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Slice onions using a food processor for even cooking.
  3. In the same Dutch oven, add remaining olive oil and sliced onions; cook over medium heat until translucent (about 5 minutes), then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir occasionally until they turn golden (approximately 20 minutes).
  4. Add garlic and maple syrup; cook for an additional 7-8 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture, deglaze with apple vinegar, then add beef broth. Mix well.
  6. Return the roast to the pot, ensuring it’s covered by the onion mixture; add rosemary and bay leaf.
  7. Cover and transfer to a preheated oven at 300°F for about three hours until tender.
