How to Make Beer Braised Beef And Onions
- Pat 3-4 lb beef chuck roast dry and season generously with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wide 5-6 quart Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear beef roast on all sides until deeply browned, about 15 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Add 2 large onions, chopped, and 2 bay leaves to the pot. Cook with 1/2 teaspoon salt in the remaining oil, scraping up browned bits, until onions are deeply caramelized, about 25 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pour in 12 oz (355ml) of your favorite dark beer (stout or porter recommended) and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar into the pot. Bring to a boil, scraping up any remaining browned bits.
- Return beef to the pot, adding any accumulated juices from the plate. Return to a boil.
- Cut a circle of parchment paper slightly larger than the pot's diameter. Place it over the beef and onions. Cover the pot with its lid.
- Braise in the preheated oven until the beef is incredibly tender when pierced with a fork, about 3 1/2 - 4 hours. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your roast.
- Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the beef to a cutting board. Let it rest, loosely tented with foil, for 20 minutes.
- Remove the string from the beef. Slice the roast against the grain.
- Skim off excess fat from the sauce. Remove and discard bay leaves.
- To reheat (optional): Remove meat from sauce and slice, then spoon sauce over meat in a shallow baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and heat in a 325°F (160°C) oven for about 45 minutes. Alternatively, reheat unsliced meat in the sauce.
- Serve the braised beef with onions and sauce over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
