Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the pot roast with half of the salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the pot roast on all sides for about 10-12 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate to rest.
  3. Slice onions using a food processor and cook them in the remaining olive oil in the Dutch oven until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, caramelize onions for about 20 minutes until golden, stirring often.
  5. Add garlic and maple syrup; cook for another 7-8 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle flour over onions, deglaze with apple vinegar, and add beef stock.
  7. Return pot roast to the Dutch oven, cover with liquid, add rosemary and bay leaf, then bring to a simmer.
  8. Cover and bake in a preheated oven at 300°F for about three hours; turn pot roast halfway through.
  9. Check tenderness after an additional 30-45 minutes; serve hot.
