Time 3h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
salt (remember bacon is salty)
4 lbs boneless beef chuck
2 slices bacon
2 large onions, rough chopped
3 -4 garlic cloves, mined
12 ounces dark beer (I used a bourbon barrel stout)
1 tablespoon McCormick Cocoa Chile Blend
1 chipotle chili pepper, minced
1 teaspoon raisins, chopped
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon cumin
fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, pepper and salt together, season the roast with the flour mixture.
  • Fry bacon till crisp in a heavy cast iron pot, remove bacon from pan and set aside. Wipe pot from most of the fat.
  • Over high heat brown one side of roast. Flip then top with onions and garlic to brown the other side. About 4 minutes per side.
  • Top with the bacon bits, cocoa chili blend, chipotle chili, raisins, peanut butter, parsley and cumin.
  • Add the beer and add enough water to come about half way up the roast. You want to braise and not boil.
  • Cover tightly and simmer gently over low heat on top of the range, or in a cast iron pot place in a preheated 325 degree oven, roughly 45 minutes per pound or until the beef is fork-tender. Or place the browned roast and remaining ingredients in your crock pot on low heat for 6-8 hours.
  • The cooking liquid may be thickened with broken tortillas, flour, or cornstarch or reduced for gravy or sauce as desired. Garnish with parsley. Served over noodles, mashed potatoes or slice for an open faced sandwich.

Tips:

  • To achieve a tender and flavorful pot roast, consider using a chuck roast, blade roast, or brisket as your main cut of beef.
  • Season the beef generously with salt and pepper before searing it in a hot pan. This step develops a rich, caramelized crust that enhances the flavor of the pot roast.
  • For a more flavorful braising liquid, use a combination of beef broth, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves for extra aroma.
  • To ensure that the vegetables cook evenly, cut them into uniform sizes. Root vegetables like carrots and potatoes should be cut into large chunks, while softer vegetables like celery and onions can be cut into smaller pieces.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, dissolve a tablespoon of cornstarch in a little bit of water and stir it into the braising liquid towards the end of the cooking time. This will help thicken the sauce without overpowering the other flavors.

Conclusion:
