Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 large Onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into large chunks.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Evenly coat the beef pieces with this spice mixture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chunks on all sides until brown, about 5-6 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of ghee to the skillet. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. If the pan gets too dry, add a splash of water.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the seared beef back to the skillet.
Pour in the beef broth and coconut aminos, and stir to combine. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
Serve the savory beef and caramelized onions hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
