What To Do With a Cheap Chuck Roast – French Onion Stew

Name: What To Do With a Cheap Chuck Roast – French Onion Stew
Total time: 270 min
Ingredients: 2½ lb Chuck roast, trimmed of all fat (Should be left with about 1½-2 lbs of meat. You also could use any other stew meat you find.); 2-3 chunks Beef fat from trimmed roast (You can substitute more butter for this if you don't have the fat trimmings.); 4 lg Sweet yellow onions (I uses Walla Walla sweets but you could use Vidalias or other sweet yellow onions.); 2 lb White or crimini mushrooms, stems trimmed and sliced; 48 oz Beef stock or broth; ½ cup Dry white wine; 3 tbsp Butter or neutral cooking oil; 2 Whole bay leaves; ½ tsp Ground or rubbed thyme (You also can use a few sprigs of fresh thyme if you have it.); 2 tbsp Soy sauce (I used low sodium in this recipe.); Salt; black pepper
