- 3 tbsp Spicy brown mustard
- 12 oz Brown ale beer
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 5 cups Beef broth

Instructions
- Place onions in the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker.

- Return skillet to medium heat and add beer. Using a wooden spoon, stir to loosen up any browned bits. Add brown sugar and broth; stir until well-combined. Pour over beef in slow cooker. Add thyme sprigs.

- Add carrots to slow cooker. Cover and cook 1 hour more or until beef is fork-tender.
