This was something Mother made often when I was a child. She frequently served it over nice, wide, egg noodles.
Ingredients:
5 lbs chuck roast or 5 lbs rump roast or 5 lbs sirloin tip roast
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar, apple cider
1 cup water
12 ounces beer
1 cup tomato sauce
2/3 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
flour (to dust meat and to thicken gravy as needed)
salt
pepper
Directions:
1. Dust the meat with flour, salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides in the oil in a dutch oven or any large pot.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the meat, cover and simmer for 3 hours or until tender. If you have the luxury to let it simmer for 6-8 hours, even better.
3. Thicken the gravy with flour.
4. Sliced mushrooms may be added to gravy.
5. I is nice served over wide egg noodles.
