Guinness Pot Roast is loaded with flavor from the rich taste of Guinness beer, fresh rosemary, vegetables and spices. It's slow-cooked until fork tender!
Add olive oil to a (5 to 7 quart) dutch oven on top of the stove. Sprinkle roast with steak seasoning or your favorite dry rub recipe.
Rub dry spices into the meat on every side, then sear roast in the bottom of the pot over medium-high heat. Sear beef on all sides until you get a deep brown crust.
Roughly chop an onion and add it to the pot. Sauté onion on low heat with the beef until transparent.
Add half of the beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves and garlic. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Pour in Guinness beer and give everything a stir.
Close the lid tightly and bake in a dutch oven at 325ºF for 3 hours. Check half way through cooking process and add the other half of the beef broth.
After 3 hours, add carrots, rosemary and red cabbage to the pot. Make sure veggies are submerged in liquid. Cover and bake in oven for 1 more hour until vegetables are tender and meat can be easily pulled apart with a fork.
Stir gravy. If necessary, thicken with a cornstarch slurry made of 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 Tablespoons of water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve pot roast and gravy over mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.
