How to Make Belgian Roast Crock Pot

Season a 3-4 lb beef roast generously with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the browned roast to your crock pot.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and cook until medium brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer the onions and garlic to the crock pot.
Add 1 cup of beer, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet.
Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon or spatula.
Pour the beer mixture over the roast in the crock pot.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the roast is very tender.
Remove the roast from the crock pot and set aside. Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid.
Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the boiling cooking liquid. Stir until the gravy has thickened.
Slice the roast and serve it over mashed potatoes or your favorite sides. Drizzle generously with the gravy.
Enjoy this comforting dish with a side of Recipe #169674 (if applicable).
