Ingredients

  • 2 lb bottom blade boneless pot roast, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sodium-reduced beef broth
  • 2 sliced bacon, chopped
  • 3 onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar

Preparation

Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. In Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat; brown beef, in batches. Remove to bowl.

Add 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the broth to pan, scraping up brown bits; add to bowl. Fry bacon; with slotted spoon, add to bowl.

Add remaining oil to pan; cook onions over medium heat, stirring often, until  golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in sugar and vinegar until sugar is melted.
 
Add remaining stock, beer, bay leaves, thyme and 1 cup (250 mL) water, scraping up brown bits. Return beef mixture to pan; bring to boil.

Cut off bread crust; spread bread with mustard; float, mustard side down, on stew. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 1-1/4 hours.

Break up bread, stirring into sauce. Simmer, covered, until thickened and beef is tender, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Stir in parsley.
