Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb boneless chuck roast
  • 3 lbs yellow onions
  • 1 cup red apple vinegar or beef stock
  • 2 1/2 cups beef stock

  4. Deglaze the pot with red apple vinegar (or beef stock), scraping up any bits.
  5. Return the roast to the pot, add beef stock, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  6. Cover and simmer on low for about 3 hours (or cook on low in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours).
