This rich-flavored pot roast makes an ideal supper. Beef brisket has the best flavor, but arm or cross rib pot roast will work equally well also. Ingredients:

1 lb carrot, cut into large chunks |

1 bay leaf |
3 teaspoons dried thyme |
1 teaspoon brown sugar |
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
salt (to taste) |
pepper (to taste) |

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole and brown the meat on all sides; remove from pan and drain.
3. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender and just starting to brown, stirring constantly.

5. Add the flour and cook for 1 more minute; blend in the stock and Guinness, mixing until combined.
