Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Trim excess fat from roast, leaving about 1/4 inch fat. Liberally season all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place roast, fat-side up, in a Dutch oven. Place onions on and around the roast.
- Cover and bake until aromatic, about 1 1/2 hours. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake, turning the meat every 30 minutes and keeping covered, until roast is browned and cooked through, about 3 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
- Check tenderness of roast with a fork; if not tender enough, add additional cook time in 30-minute increments until meat easily falls apart.
- Remove from the oven and transfer roast to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk water and flour together in a small bowl.
- Place the Dutch oven, uncovered, on the stovetop over medium heat. Smash the remaining onion pieces and stir, being careful not to let the gravy burn. Slowly add water-flour mixture, whisking until cooked through and desired thickness is achieved.
- Slice roast and serve alongside gravy.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the Dutch oven on medium heat until it is hot. Add a little oil of choice and heat that too.
- Sear both sides of your chuck roast, about five minutes on each side. Just brown it.
- Remove the roast from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Add the chopped onion and celery to the oil and juices in the pan. Cook for a few minutes while stirring. These will mostly dissolve during the cooking of the roast but they add tons of flavor.
- Add the roast back into the pan and add 1/2 cup of water or beef broth and cover.
- Place the Dutch oven in the oven.
- Cook for about two hours at 350 degrees.
- After two hours add peeled and quartered russet potatoes. The size of your pot will determine how many you can add. But allow about ½- 1 potato for each person.
- Cook for another hour. Remove pan from oven and check for doneness in potatoes. They should be tender and cooked through.
- Check that the roast is done. It should pull apart easily with a fork. If it needs to cook more, remove potatoes and return to the oven for another half an hour.
- Or if the roast is done and the potatoes aren't, remove the roast and cook the potatoes for more time.
- When the roast and potatoes are both done cooking, let them rest in the pan until ready to serve to keep them warm.
- Granny recommends cooking the carrots separately to retain their color and flavor. This is how to do it.
- Peel the carrots, and slice off tip and the stem. Cut in half, then cut each half into about four carrot sticks.
- Place carrots in saucepan with a small amount of water. Add a little salt and about a teaspoon of sugar. Cook until tender but not too soft, about 10 minutes.
- To serve, place the pot roast in the center of a platter and surround with the potatoes and carrots.

Place potatoes, onions, carrots and celery into the pot with roast. Add more water if needed. Add garlic powder and onion powder. Replace lid and simmer for another 45 minutes until veggies are done and roast is tender. Remove roast and veggies to a platter. When cool, slice roast into thick slices. In the meantime, mix gravy mix with water from roast and add to the pot. Bring to a boil and stir until thickened. If it is too thin, add a little flour to a little water to make a paste and pour into pot. If too thick, add a little more water. You'll have to judge to see how much is needed, by how thick or thin it is.
- 2. Serve with gravy and vegetables
