Directions:Boil 3 cups of water. Add the beef broth granules to the boiling water and stir. Add the dried mushrooms to the broth mixture. Let the mushrooms steep in the broth for 10 minutes. Remove the porcini mushrooms and discard.
In a large pot, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the beef roast and brown on all sides. Remove roast and transfer to a plate. Add to the onions to the same pot. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and sauté the onions until softened, about 3 minutes.
Return the roast to the pot. Add the Guinness, beef broth, garlic cloves, and Dijon mustard. Reduce heat to simmer and cover the pot. Cook roast for 2 hours, turning often and stirring mixture.
Add the cornstarch to the mixture and stir. Add the potatoes to the pot. Re-cover the pot. Continue cooking until meat falls apart when you stick a fork in it, about 1 hour longer. Remove the roast and the potatoes to a serving platter. Uncover the pot and bring gravy to a boil and let cook for 5 minutes.
To serve, using two forks, pull roast into pieces. Serve gravy alongside the roast and potatoes. |
