Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 12 ounces beer (dark lager or stout preferred)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Slice the onion into thin wedges and mince the garlic. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season it with salt and pepper.
Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.
Place the sliced onion and garlic into the bottom of your crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, beef broth, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and dried thyme.
Place the seared beef on top of the onions and garlic in the crock pot. Pour the prepared beer mixture over the roast.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and shred using two forks.
Optionally, strain the cooking liquid and skim off excess fat, then serve it as a dipping sauce or gravy alongside the shredded beef.
Serve the beer beef over mashed potatoes, rice, or in sandwiches.
