Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 lb boneless chuck roast
  • 3 lbs yellow onions (about 8 medium-large)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 cup red apple vinegar (or more beef stock)
  • 2 ½ cups beef stock
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Preheat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the pot roast with half the salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the pot roast until browned on all sides (10-12 minutes). Transfer to a plate to rest.
  3. Slice onions using a food processor. Add remaining olive oil to the Dutch oven, then cook onions over medium heat until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and caramelize onions for about 20 minutes until golden, stirring often.
  5. Add garlic and maple syrup; cook for another 7-8 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle flour over onions, deglaze with apple vinegar, add beef broth, and stir.
  7. Return pot roast to the Dutch oven, ensuring it's covered with liquid. Add rosemary and bay leaf; bring to a simmer.
  8. Cover and slow-cook in the oven at 300°F for about 3 hours until tender. Shred pot roast if desired before serving.
