Juicy French Onion Pot Roast

 

Juicy French Onion Pot Roast

Ingredients:

3 lb beef chuck roast

2 large onions, thinly sliced

4 cloves of garlic, minced

2 cups beef broth

1/2 cup red wine

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325°F. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add butter and sliced onions. Cook the onions until they are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, red wine, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the beef chuck roast to the pot and cover with the onion mixture. Cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the roast is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the juicy French onion pot roast with the onions and sauce from the pot. Enjoy!
