Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (3 pound) beef pot roast
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound carrots, cut into chunks
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon tomato paste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven. Brown pot roast on all sides in hot oil; remove from pan and set aside.
Stir onion and garlic into hot oil and cook until onions are just softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes to the pot; cook and stir until they begin to color, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix flour into vegetables; stir continuously for 1 minute. Add beef stock and beer; bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Stir in bay leaf, thyme, brown sugar, mustard, tomato paste, salt, and pepper; place pot roast back in the pot and cover with a lid.
Bake in the preheated oven until beef and vegetables are completely tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
