In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides. Remove from pan., Add onions, celery and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the same pan; cook and stir over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until onions are browned. Add garlic, tomato paste, thyme and bay leaves; cook and stir 1 minute longer., Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan; stir in broth. Return roast to pan. Arrange potatoes, parsnips and carrots around roast; bring to a boil. Bake, covered, until meat is fork-tender, 2-2-1/2 hours., Remove roast and vegetables from pan; keep warm. Discard bay leaves; skim fat from cooking juices. On stovetop, bring juices to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half (about 1-1/2 cups), 10-12 minutes.

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.

YUMMY POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Pierce roast heavily on both sides with fork and sprinkle lightly with meat tenderizer.
• Allow to sit 5 minutes.
• Place roast in a metal roasting pan that has a cover (roast can also be covered and sealed with heavy aluminum foil).
• Mix water, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, and catsup in bowl then pour over roast.
• Circle roast with potatoes, onions, carrots, bay leaves, and bouillon cubes.
• Sprinkle all with pepper and garlic powder.
• Cover tightly and cook approximately 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours until meat is tender. Discard bay leaves.
• Note: One reviewer noted that her roast was almost overdone. I contend that all ovens are different and the safest way to cook any meat is using a meat thermometer. If you cook the roast to an internal temperature of 165 deg. F. and let it rest for about 5 minutes, it will be done perfectly and still plenty juicy. Thanks to the reviewer that pointed that out. Dried out meat can ruin the rest of the meal.

SERIOUSLY DELICIOUS POT ROAST...SERIOUSLY!!!!!

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet on medium high.
• Combine flour and grill seasoning in a large bowl.
• Coat Chuck Roast with flour mixture, shake off any excess.
• Place Chuck Roast in skillet and sear/brown all 4 sides, 3 minutes each side.
• While meat is searing: Mix Lipton Onion soup mix, mushrooms, onion and chicken broth (or water) in the crockpot. This will become the gravy of the dish. It does not look like much now, but the water from the mushrooms and cooking process WILL make a nice gravy!
• When Chuck Roast is seared/browned on all sides add to crockpot and coat with the mushroom mixture.
• Set crockpot to low for 6 hours. I would not recommend doing this on high for half the time. It does not come out as tender.
