Ingredients
- 1 (2.5-3-pound) beef chuck roast, boneless
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large sweet onion, peeled and quartered
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed beef consommé
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
- 1 bay leaf
- browning sauce, such as Grace® Browning sauce, to taste
- 1 (8-ounce) carton fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle light beer, such as Heineken®
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- fresh thyme sprigs, to taste, for garnish
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Use a sharp knife to cut six 1-inch-long slits into the center of the chuck roast then insert 1 of the garlic clove halves into each slit.
Step 3 -In a medium bowl, add the brown sugar, the salt, and the black pepper and stir to combine.
Step 4 -Evenly rub the brown sugar mixture over the entire roast.
Step 5 -In a Dutch oven over medium heat, add the olive oil and the seasoned roast and brown on all sides.
Step 6 -Add the onions, the beef consommé, the Worcestershire sauce, the stone-ground mustard, the bay leaf, and the browning sauce to the Dutch oven and stir to combine.
Step 7 -Cover the Dutch oven and bake the roast until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 1 hour 45 minutes-2 hours 15 minutes.
Step 8 -Transfer the cooked roast to a large serving plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
Step 9 -Reserve the beef consommé mixture in the Dutch oven and discard the bay leaf.
Step 10 -Place the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, the beer, and the dried thyme to the beef consommé mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is reduced by half.
Step 11 -In a small bowl, add the cornstarch and the water and whisk until it is combined and smooth.
Step 12 -Gradually add the slurry mixture to the mushroom sauce and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly, until it is thickened, about 2 minutes.

Step 14 -Serve the roast garnished with the fresh thyme sprigs.
