Slow Cooker

Ingredients

1 large onion - sliced thick
4 carrots - cut into chunks
¾ - 1 pound cubed potatoes
4 pound chuck roast (I used bone in)
1 cup Guinness stout
1 tablespoon concentrated tomato paste (from a tube)
4 cloves garlic - minced
1 tablespoon Smoked Black Pepper (if you cannot find the blend I used, try any smoked pepper)
1 & ½ tablespoons kosher salt

Instructions

Place sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add beef roast on top of onion and scatter carrots, and potatoes around sides.
In a small bowl, add Guinness stout, tomato paste, and garlic. Mix well. Pour over beef. Sprinkle over salt and pepper. Place lid on slow cooker. Set heat to low for 8 hours or 5 - 6 hours on high.
When the beef is done, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve with the beef stock from the pot.

Notes

To make gravy: Skim off the fat and pour the drippings into a sauté pan. Heat pan to medium-low and reduce liquid by ⅓. And, if needed, thicken the gravy with a slurry made with two tablespoons of flour and ¼ cup of cold water. Whisk the slurry into the drippings and bring it up to a simmer to thicken. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.

For leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Leftover roast makes terrific Roast Beef And Cheese Sandwiches.

Recipe Variations:

This recipe is great for adding extra vegetables such as mushrooms, parsnips, and turnips.

Additional seasonings like bay leaves, fresh parsley, and mustard seeds (my favorite) are great to toss in.

Add a mix of horseradish and Dijon mustard to this easy Guinness beef recipe to give it a spicy kick. Add it on top of the roast just before placing it in the crock pot.
