Smoky Braised Chuck Roast image

After tiring of the same sauces, I began experimenting with spices and flavors, coming up with this concoction. It's excellent with steak, London broil or a roast, and delivers the flavor of a summer cookout all year long! -Karen Brown, Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania

I followed the recipe exactly and the roast turned out tough and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This chuck roast was fall-apart tender and packed with flavor. The smokiness from the paprika and chipotle powder was perfect, and the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce added a rich depth of flavor. I served it over mashed potatoes and roasted vege
