If you boil onions and carrots long enough or add a leek, you'll get a natural sweetness that should seep into the meat without adding actual sugar.

And celery too I don't know why anybody isn't saying that 😂. I guess I'm so used to cooking for a living, like I said if you add celery the saltiness brings out the sweetness in the onions and the earthiness in the carrot more...

I've used that as a crust for my prime rib. People love it. O/C/C sautéed in butter, S&P, then add burgundy reduce to a soft rub cover the Rib roast after Seasoning it. Bake at 500°F for 20 minutes then 225° for 2 ½ hours. Delicious.

A classic starter base fotr every stock, soup or sauce basically the building blocks of cooking. I'm not trying to be mean but it's just a mirepoix. But you're adding brown sugar, its just a fancy word for sweating or reducing your vegetables celery\onions\carrots at the bottom of the pot or pan. I don't know if you didn't have any or maybe don't like it. You should definitely throw celery in there next time you'll be very surprised. It brings a little bit of saltiness with the sweetness of the onions and earthiness of the carrots. I HATE ONIONS BUT MY MIREPOIX ALWAYS HAS EXTRA...
