Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Roast

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  4. 4

    Deglaze

    Pour in the beer, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Broth and Herbs

    Return the seared roast to the pot. Add beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a boil.

  6. 6

    Braise the Roast

    Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it braise for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the roast from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice or shred the beef and serve with the vegetables and sauce.
