Dark Beer Beef Roast
Ingredients
3–4 lb (1.4–1.8 kg) beef chuck roast
1 bottle/can (12 oz / 355 ml) dark beer, such as stout or porter
1 packet (about 1 oz / 28 g) dry onion soup mix
Method
Put the chuck roast in a large slow cooker, fat side up.
Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the meat.
Pour the dark beer around the roast, trying not to wash the seasoning off the top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours, until the beef easily pulls apart with a fork.
Transfer the roast to a platter and shred or pull it into large pieces.
Stir the cooking liquid, skim excess fat if desired, and spoon the dark gravy generously over the beef.
