Caramelized Onion Pot Roast

1 boneless beef chuck roast ( 4 lbs )

1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups beef broth

6 medium onions sliced

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

3/4 cup regular or nonalcoholic beer

2 tbsp packed brown sugar

3 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp cider vinegar

Spray a 12 inch skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium high heat. In the

skillet, cook beef about 10 minutes. Turn occasionally, until brown. Sprinkle with salt,

and pepper; remove from heat.

Spray a 4-5 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place onions in cooker. Place

beef on onions. In a mixing bowl, combine rest of ingredients, pour over beef.

Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8-10 hours.

Remove beef from cooker; cover and let stand 15 minutes. Slice beef; serve beef juice and

onions from cooker.

The beef should be so tender, you could use two forks to break it apart, rather than trying

to slice it.
