Instructions

  1. Preheat your Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, seasoning the pot roast with half of the salt and pepper.

  5. Add garlic and maple syrup; cook for another 7-8 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle flour over onions, deglaze with apple vinegar, then stir in beef broth.
  7. Return the pot roast to the Dutch oven, cover with onion mixture, add herbs, and bring to a simmer.

  9. Let cool slightly before serving hot.
