Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Lean beef roast (chuck or rump)
- 12 oz Light beer
- 1 cup Low-sodium beef broth
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium Carrots, sliced into thick rounds
- 2 stalks Celery stalks, chopped
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef roast and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a large Dutch oven or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Season the beef roast generously with salt and black pepper, and sear it on all sides in the hot oil until a golden-brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize.
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Deglaze the pot by pouring in the light beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the seared beef roast to the pot, nestling it into the liquid. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the beef to slow-cook for 3-4 hours, turning once halfway through, until the meat is fork-tender and easily shredded.
Taste the braising liquid and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded meat to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce and vegetables.
Serve the beer-soaked beef warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side of steamed vegetables.
