CHUCK ROAST FOR TWO



Chuck Roast for Two image

This is a tasty roast for 2 or even 1. It is just me at home so I cut my roast in half. Will feast on this roast with some heavenly mashed potatoes covered in gravy and a nice veggie to go with it. With the leftovers...well I will saute up some mushrooms to add to the gravy, cube the left over roast to add along with it....and then serve over noodles or rice. I will have another meal for another day without much preparation for it.

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (1 1/2 lb) chuck roast, abt 1 1/2 lbs (I cut a 3lb roast in half, froze the other half for another time)
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, cut in large dice
1 teaspoon beef base
1 cup hot water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon herbes de provence
1 teaspoon Gravy Master
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon water

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.
  • Taste and correct seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and garlic powder blend if needed.
  • NOTE: The salt, pepper, garlic powder blend is actually Paula Deen's House Seasoning, see recipe #57340.

Tips:

  • Use a Dutch oven or a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. This will help to create a braising environment, which is essential for tender, flavorful chuck roast.
  • Sear the chuck roast before braising it. This will help to develop flavor and caramelize the meat.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the pot. Vegetables will add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid. This could be anything from beef broth to red wine to tomato sauce.
  • Cook the chuck roast on low heat for a long time. This will help to break down the connective tissue and make the meat tender.
  • Let the chuck roast rest before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the meat even more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chuck roast is a delicious and affordable cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Braising is a great way to cook chuck roast, as it results in tender, flavorful meat that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious chuck roast dinner that your family and friends will love.
