Ingredients

Scale

3 lb boneless chuck roast 3 lbs yellow onions, sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 sprig rosemary 1 bay leaf 2 1/2 cups beef stock 1 cup red wine or extra beef stock 1 tbsp all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground 1 tsp sea salt, fine 1 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the roast on all sides. Caramelize onions with garlic and maple syrup until golden brown. Transfer onions to a Dutch oven and place seared roast on top.
