Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Chuck roast | 1 (3–4 pounds) |
| Ranch dressing mix | 1 packet |
| Italian dressing mix | 1 packet |
| Brown gravy mix | 1 packet |
| Water or beef broth | 1 cup |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks | 4–5 |
| Medium potatoes, peeled and quartered | 5–6 |
| Large onion, quartered | 1 |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
Instructions
- Preheat and Brown the Meat
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear each side for 3–4 minutes until browned. Transfer the roast to a plate and set aside. - Add the Vegetables
Place the carrots, potatoes, and onion into the same pot, stirring for a minute to coat them in the oil and pan juices. Set the seared roast on top of the vegetables. - Mix the Seasoning Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch mix, Italian mix, and brown gravy mix with the water or beef broth until blended. - Assemble and Bake
Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the roast and vegetables. Cover the pot tightly with a lid or aluminum foil, then bake for 3–4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. - Serve and Enjoy
Spoon the flavorful gravy over the roast and vegetables before serving. Serve hot for a cozy, satisfying meal.
