Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, sliced into rounds
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 bottle (12 ounces) Guinness stout beer
• 2 cups Beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 Bay leaves
• 3 Fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Dust the beef lightly with the all-purpose flour, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion, carrots, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 7

Add the mushrooms to the pot and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Pour in the Guinness stout beer, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and lift any browned bits.

Step 9

Stir in the beef stock, tomato paste, bay leaves, and fresh thyme sprigs.

Step 10

Return the seared beef to the pot, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the liquid.

Step 11

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 12

Cook in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.

Step 13

Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 14

Shred or slice the beef as desired and serve with the rich sauce and cooked vegetables.

Step 15

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or egg noodles.
