PERFECT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
• With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
• Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
• Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

CHUCK ROAST FOR TWO

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder ( it makes for a better distribution of the seasonings).
• Sprinkle beef with the mixed seasoning on all sides.
• Brown the chuck roast in the oil on all sides (I use my Le Creuset 2-Quart Round French Oven).
• Add the onion to the pot and saute until light golden color.
• Dissolve the beef base in hot water.
• Pour the resulting broth around the roast in the pot.
• Bring the broth up to a bubble, immediately cover, and turn down the heat to a simmer.
• Cook at a simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
• Remove meat from pan and keep warm by covering with foil.
• Mix the flour and water together to create a slurry.
• Add the gravy master to simmering broth.
• Slowing pour the slurry into the pan while stirring with a whisk to ensure no lumps form.
• Simmer for a couple of minutes to cook the flour.

• NOTE: The salt, pepper, garlic powder blend is actually Paula Deen's House Seasoning, see recipe #57340.

OVEN CHUCK ROAST

• Pour beer over everything, sprinkle other tbsp of Seasoning Mix over everything.

OVEN-BAKED CHUCK ROAST RECIPE + GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350° F. While waiting, prepare the chuck roast. Rinse it then pat dry with a paper towel.
• In a shallow bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika then mix well. Rub the spice mix to both sides of the meat.
• Pour olive oil in a large oven-proof cast iron pan and place it over medium heat. Once it's hot, place the seasoned chuck roast in it. Sear both sides for about 5 to 7 minutes each to form a flavorful brown crust.
• Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to low then add onions and garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for about a minute or until they are fragrant. Stir continuously to get as much of the fond from the seared steak as possible.
• Then gradually pour in the Worcestershire sauce, red wine, and beef broth to help deglaze the pan. Add the rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir occasionally for approximately 5 minutes then add the chuck roast back to the pan.
• Cover the pan with aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Leave the chuck roast to take its time to bake for 2 ½ to 3 hours. Remember to baste the chuck roast with the drippings 2 to 3 times while it bakes. This keeps the meat juicy and flavorful as it cooks.
• Add the baby carrots and potatoes to the roast for the last 45 minutes. This is to make sure they have just enough time to absorb flavor and stay tender. Do not add the veggies at the beginning as they will end up mushy.
• Once done, check for doneness. According to the USDA, the cooked meat should have an internal temperature between 145° F to 155° F for a medium - medium-well done roast. Take it out of the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
• Let the meat rest for up to 15 minutes before slicing it. Then add the roasted veggies to the side.
• You can now use the drippings for your gravy. For a quick and simple gravy, put the pan back to the stove on low heat then add a slurry. Stir continuously until you get your desired consistency.
• If you want to make it extra special, transfer the drippings into a fat separator. Then leave the fat and mix the aromatics back to the drippings using an immersion blender.
• Using the same cast iron pan, make a roux by melting the butter and adding equal parts of all-purpose flour. Then gradually add the drippings and beef broth. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Stir continuously for 3 to 5 minutes until thick.

OVEN BAKED CHUCK ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300F and allow chuck roast to come to room temperature. Peel and chop carrots into sticks. Clean and cut each baby potato in half.
• Season chuck roast on all sides with the salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is warm, sear the chuck roast on all sides until there is a golden brown crust - about 4 mins each side.
• Remove the chuck roast from the pan, drain any excess oil from the pan and reduce the heat to medium low. Mix beef broth, wine, and tomato paste in the pan scraping any brown bits off the bottom as you mix. Let this mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
• Arrange half of the carrots and potatoes in a layer in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the roast on top and arrange the rest of the carrots and potatoes around it. Season with rosemary and thyme and pour the liquid from the pan over top.
• Cover the roasting pan with a lid and place in the oven to cook. Cook for an hour and a half then remove from the oven and spoon the liquid from the bottom of the pan over the roast for a minute. Cover the pan and return it to the oven.
• Cook for another hour and half until the roast has cooked for 3 hours total. Remove from the pan and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the carrots and potatoes.
• Skim the excess fat off the juice from the pan and serve with the sliced roast.
