Ingredients
- 2 pound beef chuck roast (cut into 2-inch chunks)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion (large, roughly chopped)
- 2 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 can Guinness stout
- 2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1.5 pound baby red potatoes (halved)
- 1 sweet potato (large, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks)
- 1 cup button mushrooms (sliced)
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season beef chuck roast chunks generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear beef chunks in batches until well browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove beef and set aside.
- Add chopped yellow onion to the Dutch oven and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in Guinness stout, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer.
- Return seared beef to the pot. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, add halved baby red potatoes, cut sweet potato, and sliced button mushrooms to the pot. Stir gently. Re-cover and continue to cook for another 1 hour, or until beef is fork-tender and vegetables are cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the pot roast into bowls, ensuring each serving has beef and a variety of vegetables. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
