2 lb. boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1 inch cubes
salt and pepper
3 stalks celery, chopped
3–4 carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 beer (I like a porter, stout, or brown ale)
64 oz. beef broth
1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 cups lentils, rinsed
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large dutch oven or stock pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Brown the beef in the pan in batches and transfer to a plate.
Add the celery, carrots, onion, garlic, and spices to the pot. Saute for several minutes or until onions are translucent. Return the beef to the pot.
Add the beer, broth, tomatoes to the pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for an hour or until meat is tender.
Add the lentils. Cover and continue simmering until the lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Enjoy!
