Instructions:

Prepare the Beef Roast:
- Start by generously seasoning both sides of the beef roast with salt and pepper. This will enhance the meat’s flavor as it cooks.
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef roast for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it is golden brown. This step locks in the juices and creates a flavorful crust on the roast.
- After searing, transfer the roast to a large roasting pan or slow cooker.
Add Aromatics and Liquid:
- Spread the minced garlic and sliced onion over the beef.
- Pour the beef broth and beer into the pan, ensuring the liquid covers the roast halfway up the sides. This mixture will infuse the beef with rich flavors as it cooks.
- Add the bay leaves and fresh thyme sprigs for additional flavor.
- Scatter the chunks of carrots and diced celery around the roast. These vegetables will not only add flavor to the cooking liquid but will also serve as a delicious side dish when the roast is done.
Cooking the Beef Roast:
- Slow Cooker Method: Cover and cook on low heat for 8 to 10 hours, or on high heat for 4 to 6 hours. The slow cooking time will make the beef incredibly tender and flavorful.
- Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
Optional: Thicken the Sauce:
- Once the beef roast is cooked to your liking, you can turn the cooking liquid into a luxurious sauce. Remove the meat and vegetables from the slow cooker or roasting pan, and transfer the liquid to a saucepan.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Bring the cooking liquid to a simmer over medium heat and slowly whisk in the slurry. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice the beef roast thickly against the grain to keep it juicy and tender. Arrange the slices on a platter, and spoon the vegetables and sauce over the top.
- Serve your beer-infused beef roast with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. For a finishing touch, garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or parsley.
