Hearty and Comforting French Onion Pot Roast. This dish combines the rich, caramelized flavors of French onion soup with the tender, slow-cooked goodness of a classic pot roast.
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
2. 2. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
3. 3. In the same Dutch oven, add sliced onions, salt, pepper, and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 30-40 minutes.
4. 4. Sprinkle caramelized onions with flour and stir for 1-2 minutes. Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Let simmer for a few minutes.
5. 5. Add beef stock, bay leaf, and rosemary to the pot. Return the seared roast to the center. Cover and braise in the oven for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
6. 6. Remove bay leaf and rosemary. Slice or shred the meat and serve with caramelized onions and braising liquid.
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or a simple green salad.
