Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the Dutch oven on medium heat until it is hot. Add a little oil of choice and heat that too.
- Sear both sides of your chuck roast, about five minutes on each side. Just brown it.
- Remove the roast from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Add the chopped onion and celery to the oil and juices in the pan. Cook for a few minutes while stirring. These will mostly dissolve during the cooking of the roast but they add tons of flavor.
- Add the roast back into the pan and add 1/2 cup of water or beef broth and cover.
- Place the Dutch oven in the oven.
- Cook for about two hours at 350 degrees.
- After two hours add peeled and quartered russet potatoes. The size of your pot will determine how many you can add. But allow about ½- 1 potato for each person.
- Cook for another hour. Remove pan from oven and check for doneness in potatoes. They should be tender and cooked through.
- Check that the roast is done. It should pull apart easily with a fork. If it needs to cook more, remove potatoes and return to the oven for another half an hour.
- Or if the roast is done and the potatoes aren't, remove the roast and cook the potatoes for more time.
- When the roast and potatoes are both done cooking, let them rest in the pan until ready to serve to keep them warm.
- Granny recommends cooking the carrots separately to retain their color and flavor. This is how to do it.
- Peel the carrots, and slice off tip and the stem. Cut in half, then cut each half into about four carrot sticks.
- Place carrots in saucepan with a small amount of water. Add a little salt and about a teaspoon of sugar. Cook until tender but not too soft, about 10 minutes.
- To serve, place the pot roast in the center of a platter and surround with the potatoes and carrots.
