You can brown the meat in vegetable oil instead of butter, though it will be more flavorful with the butter.

Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 lb chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper
4 Tbsp butter
6 c medium yellow onions, sliced thinly
3 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 c beef broth
12 oz belgian beer
2 bay leaves
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp mustard, spicy brown
4 sprig(s) parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Dry beef with paper towels, and season well with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large heavy bottomed dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot, almost smoking.
  • 2. Brown the meat about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer browned beef to a separate bowl.
  • 3. Add 2 tablespoons butter to dutch oven; reduce heat to medium. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt; cook until onions are browned, about 15 minutes.
  • 4. Add flour and stir until onions are evenly coated and flour is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
  • 5. Stir in broth, scraping pan bottom to loosen browned bits; stir in beer, thyme, bay leaves, browned beef with any of the accumulated juices, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • 6. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a full simmer. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, let cook for 2-3 hours until beef is fork tender. Or you can cook in the oven at 300°F.
  • 7. Stir occasionally to keep anything from sticking About half an hour before it finishes cooking, add the mustard and brown sugar. Discard thyme and bay leaf. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • 8. Serve over mashed potatoes or noodles.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try it again with less sugar.
