Instructions

  1. In your dutch oven over medium-high heat, add 2 quarts of beef broth, corn starch, and your black pepper stir and cover then reduce the liquid by about half. We are looking for a thicker consistency and a more concentrated flavor. Remove to a separate pot and set aside for later.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  3. In the dutch oven again over medium-high heat, add olive oil and bring to temperature. Season your chuck roast with salt and pepper and sear the chuck roast on all sides until each side has a nice golden-brown crust. Remove chuck roast from heat and set aside.
  4. To the pan, reduce heat to medium and add your onions. Saute until browned. When browned add your A-1 sauce and ranch packet. Stir together.
  5. Place the chuck roast back into the dutch oven on top of the onions and add your beef broth back in. Stir together. The chuck roast should be slightly exposed on the top, don't worry if the liquid doesn't cover it all the way.
  6. Cover your dutch oven with a lid and bake for 90 minutes. After 90 minutes add your potatoes, carrots and celery. Return back to the heat with lid and bake for an additional 45 minutes. Meat should be fork tender and the potatoes should be soft.
  7. Top with fresh parsley and serve with crusty bread and nice red wine.
