A flavorful and tender chuck roast cooked with a savory beer-based sauce.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the chuck roast in a roasting pan.
Ensure the roast is at room temperature for even cooking.
Slice the onion and spread it over the roast.
Thin slices will cook more evenly and infuse the roast with flavor.
In a bowl, mix the tomato sauce, beer, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture over the roast and onions.
Ensure the roast is well-coated for maximum flavor.
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place it in the oven.
Sealing the pan tightly helps retain moisture.
Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the roast is tender.
Check the roast occasionally to ensure it doesn’t dry out.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
