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.
