Beer Braised Pot Roast Recipe - Tender & Flavorful

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast (trimmed of excess fat)
  • 1 cup beer (preferably a stout or porter)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion (sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery (sliced)
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sear the Roast

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned.

    Do not overcrowd the pot; sear in batches if necessary.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    Remove the roast and add sliced onions, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

    Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
  3. Add Garlic and Thyme

    Stir in minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Deglaze with Beer

    Pour in the beer and beef broth, stirring to deglaze the pot and combine the ingredients.

    Choose a beer that you enjoy drinking for the best flavor.
  5. Braise the Roast

    Return the seared roast to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 3 to 4 hours until tender.

    Check occasionally and add more broth if needed.
