Ingredients
2 1/2 to 3 pounds beef chuck
Beer Marinade, recipe follows
3 tablespoons pork lard or vegetable oil
2 medium onions, cut into thick slices
4 garlic cloves, finely mashed
3 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
3 cups dark beer
3 cups water
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Beer marinade:
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup dark beer
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
Directions
- Trim the beef chuck and place in a container just large enough to hold it. Pour the Beer Marinade over and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lift the meat from the marinade and pat dry. Reserve the marinade. Over a medium high heat, in a heavy Dutch oven, heat the lard. Brown the steak on both sides. Add the onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for 2 minutes and then add tomatoes, salt, pepper, bay leaves, beer, water, and the reserved marinade.
- Cover and bake about 45 minutes. Add the carrots and potatoes. Cover and cook an additional 45 minutes or until the meat is very tender.
Beer marinade:
- To prepare the marinade, whisk together the oil, beer, and lemon juice. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, bay leaves, mustard, basil, oregano, and thyme. Mix well.
