Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chuck roast or stew meat cut into chunks
  • 8 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 sweet onions
  • 5-6 garlic cloves
  • 4-6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 8 oz can tomato paste
  • 1 12 oz can beer
  • 6-8 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 6 whole carrots washed
  • 6-10 red potatoes washed
  • 6 stalks celery washed

Instructions

  1. Warm Dutch oven over low heat; preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large Ziploc bag, blend flour, salt, and pepper. Add 1/2 of meat to bag then shake until coated. Remove meat and repeat with remaining meat.
  2. Chop onion and garlic; set aside.
  3. Heat butter in Dutch Oven over medium-high heat; sear beef chunks on all sides, then remove meat and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Add onions to Dutch oven and sauté until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until onions are golden brown, 4-5 minutes more, being sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the Dutch Oven as it cooks.
  5. Add tomato paste, beer, beef broth, Worcestershire, and thyme to pot; whisk well until blended.
  6. Add beef back to pot.
  7. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
  8. Chop unpeeled carrots, potatoes, and celery into large bite-sized chunks; add to pot. Bake for 60 minutes more until vegetables are cooked. Serve with crusty beer bread!
