Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb boneless pot roast (chuck)

  • Bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the pot roast with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the pot roast on all sides until browned, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  5. Stir in garlic and maple syrup; cook for another 7-8 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle flour over onions, mix well, deglaze with apple vinegar, then pour in beef stock.
  7. Return the pot roast to the Dutch oven, ensuring it's covered by onion mixture; add rosemary and bay leaf.
  8. Simmer then cover and transfer to preheated oven at 300°F (150°C). Cook for about three hours; turn roast halfway through cooking time.
  9. Let rest before serving hot with sides like mashed potatoes or polenta.
