1
Heat bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat 4 minutes or until crisp, stirring frequently. Add onion and garlic; cook 8 minutes. Place onion mixture in a bowl.

Add beer to pan; bring to a simmer, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add onion mixture, stock, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and rosemary to pan; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours. Turn beef; cover and cook 2 hours or until very tender. Place beef on a plate, and cover with foil.
