3 Floyd’s Dark Lord Pot Roast

A friend gave me a bottle of the infamous 3 Floyd’s Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout a few weeks ago. I decided to use it punch up a pot roast I was making. Here’s the recipe:

* 3 1/2 lb of beef shoulder or boneless chuck roast
* 1 Tbsp olive or grapeseed oil
* Salt, pepper, Baldridge’s to taste
* 1 large yellow onion, chopped or sliced
* Mushrooms
* 8 cloves of garlic, peeled
* 1 cup of 3 Floyd’s Dark Lord
* Several carrots, peeled and cut lengthwise
Cover your beef thoroughly on all sides with the salt, pepper and Baldridge’s. Take a stove friendly slow cooker and add some olive oil to the bottom, bring it up to heat. Brown every side of your roast. Once browned pull out the roast and scrape the carmelized fat off the sides and bottom of the slow cooker and mix around in the oil. Add in your Dark Lord and onions and garlic and mushrooms.
Bring the heat down low and put your roast back in there. Leave cooking for at least 3.5 hours. About 30 minutes before serving put in your carrots. Eat.

In other Imperial Stout news, it looks like Half Acre’s Big Hugs Imperial Stout is now available at their store. I’m leaving to pick up a couple growlers right now.
