We recently had family over for Zack's birthday dinner. I made two roast. One with my quick and recipe (package of Lipton onion soup mix, can of cream of mushroom, and beef broth.) Then, I tried a new recipe with homemade gravy on the other roast. I had everyone try both and the homemade gravy was the clear winner! It really did make SUCH a difference.
Step 1- Mix together the following seasonings and sprinkle all over the meat. Rub it in really well on all sides.
- One 2-4 lb chuck roast
- 2 tsp Adoba Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp pepper
Step 2- Heat your oil on the skillet and brown meat for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Step 3- Remove your meat and add in more oil and butter. Let simmer and stir. Add your flour. Continue to stir, mix, and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula for one minute.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 4 tsp flour
Step 4-
As you simmer and mix add your bullion and beef stock. Once that is mixed well, add the rest of your seasonings. Continue to mix and simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1 32 oz carton beef broth
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp Worcershire
- Salt to taste
Step 5- Add in sliced onion and put your meat back into the gravy. Cook for one hour at 350.
- 1 large onion
Step 6- After one hour add in the rest of your vegetables and cook for two more hours.
- 4 carrots
- 5-6 red potatoes
