Cooking instruction summary:

Generously season the roast on all sides with salt and pepper.In a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat the oil on medium-high. Sear the roast until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.Pour beer into the pot, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits clinging to the bottom. Crumble in the bouillon cube, and stir until dissolved. Add the sliced onions, then gently nestle the browned roast on top (it will probably look as if there isn’t nearly enough liquid at this stage, but don’t panic – the onions will eventually cook down and release their juices, creating the perfect roast-to-gravy ratio).Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 3 hours or until the beef is fork-tender, turning the roast over midway through the cooking process. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste, then carve into slices across the grain and serve with a big mound of mashed potatoes.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
