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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Season the roast with the dry seasonings (don't overdo).
- Sprinkle the dry soup mix onto the meat.
- Spread mushroom soup over the top and add onions.
- Add water, cover tightly with foil.
- Bake for three hours.
- Add any desired vegetables (potatoes, carrots, etc.) during the last hour of cooking.
Tips:
- To make a flavorful pot roast, choose a tough cut of beef, such as chuck roast or rump roast. These cuts have more connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and creates a tender, juicy roast. - Brown the roast in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat before braising. This step helps develop flavor and color. - Add plenty of vegetables to the pot roast, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. These vegetables will help flavor the roast and create a rich gravy. - Use a low and slow cooking method for the pot roast. This allows the meat to cook evenly and become fall-apart tender. - Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or egg noodles.Conclusion:
Pot roast is a classic comfort food that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and hearty meal that's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner.
