Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 325°.

Rub salt mixture evenly over side of beef without fat cap; place beef, salt-mixture side down, in an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven. Combine stock and beer; pour over beef.

5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onions; sauté 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cook 15 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar, sugar, and cornstarch; cook 30 seconds. Stir in reserved 1 cup cooking liquid; bring to a boil.
