Ingredients

  • 2 lb beef chuck roast, cut into 6 pieces
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 yellow onions, sliced
  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1 cup beef bone broth
  • 2 tbsp apple butter
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

Instructions

  1. Season the roast pieces with salt, pepper, and a light coating of flour. Sear in a hot Dutch oven with olive oil until deeply browned on all sides, then transfer to a plate.
  2. In the same pot, saute the sliced onions, shallot, garlic, and fresh sage until softened. Deglaze with the apple cider, scraping up all the browned bits.
  3. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple butter, and beef bone broth. Return the beef to the pot and top with the bay leaves and carrots.
  4. Cover and roast at 325F for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender. Spoon the pan juices over the roast and serve with the carrots and mashed potatoes.
