I'm not sure where I got this recipe. I have made it for over 30 years and it is a family favorite. If you like lots of gravy, this recipe has you covered. It is an easy recipe to make for company and can easily be adjusted to your tastes.

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3-4 lb chuck roast
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 large onion
4-5 beef bouillon, cubes
water to cover
1/4-1/13 c corn starch (depending on how much water used to cover roast)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cut onion into large chunks.
  • 2. Coat roast with flour.
  • 3. Heat oil in large pan. Add roast and onion to oil. Brown roast on all sides.
  • 4. Cover roast with water and add 4 bullion cubes. Simmer on low for 3-4 hours or longer.
  • 5. Remove roast from pan. Taste liquid. If flavor tastes a little weak, crush 5th bullion cube and add to liquid. Make a slurry by placing corn starch in small bowl and dissolving in COLD water (corn starch will not dissolve in hot water). Bring liquid to a boil and add slurry a little at a time until disired thickness is achieved. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • 6. Cut meat into serving size pieces and place into serving dish.Pour gravy on top and serve. This gravy is excellent on mashed potatoes.
