Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 lb boneless pot roast (chuck)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 lbs yellow onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or gluten-free AP flour
  • 1 cup red apple vinegar
  • 2 ½ cups beef stock
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Preheat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season the pot roast with half of the salt and pepper.
  2. Carefully add the pot roast to the Dutch oven. Sear on all sides until browned (10-12 minutes), then transfer to a plate to rest.
  3. Set up your food processor with a thin slicing attachment. Cut onions in half and peel away skins. Pass all onions through the food processor.
  4. Add remaining olive oil to the Dutch oven. Add sliced onions and toss them in hot oil. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat while stirring frequently until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook onions while stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes until they take on a light golden color.
  6. Preheat your oven to 300°F.
  7. Add chopped garlic and maple syrup to cooked onions. Stir frequently for another 7-8 minutes until garlic softens.
  8. Sprinkle flour over onions; stir well to coat them. Deglaze pan with apple vinegar, then pour in beef broth while stirring.
  9. Return seared pot roast to Dutch oven, ensuring the liquid covers it. Add rosemary sprig and bay leaf. Increase heat to medium-high until simmering.
  10. Clamp lid on Dutch oven; place pot roast into preheated oven. Cook undisturbed for about 3 hours.
  11. After baking time is up, carefully turn pot roast over in juices using tongs. Pull apart meat into pieces using two forks—cover and return to oven for another 30-45 minutes.
  12. Remove from oven; allow to cool slightly before serving hot alongside mashed potatoes, polenta, or buttered egg noodles.
