Ingredients

1 (2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup vegetable oil (such as Wesson®)
2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
⅔ cup dry white wine
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (1.25 ounce) package beef with onion soup mix
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 leaf (blank)s bay leaves
2 cups water to cover
1 (16 ounce) package baby carrots
2 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered, or more to taste

Steps:

Season roast with salt and pepper and coat with 2 tablespoons flour. Heat oil in a large 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven. Brown the roast on all sides in the hot oil, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in remaining flour to absorb remaining oil. Add beef broth, wine, onion, soup mix, marjoram, Worcestershire, and bay leaves. Add enough water to cover.
Cover and simmer on medium-low heat until tender, about 2 hours. Add carrots and potatoes. Continue to cook until vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. If gravy is too thin, uncover and continue to simmer until liquid evaporates and gravy thickens, about 20 minutes more. Remove bay leaves from gravy when serving.
