Ingredients
- 1 (3-4 pound) chuck roast
- 1 packet of ranch dressing mix
- 1 packet of au jus gravy mix
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 onion, cut into wedges
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 3 stalks of celery, sliced
- 3 potatoes, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Trim any fat off the chuck roast and season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on both sides for about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.
Add the onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened. Add the ranch dressing mix, au jus gravy mix, and 1/2 cup of water to the pot and stir to combine. Place the chuck roast back into the pot and bring to a simmer.
Cover the pot with a lid or foil and place in the preheated oven. Cook for 4-5 hours, until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 155-160 degrees. Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Equipment
- Large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven
- Measuring cups and spoons

Notes
If you do not have an oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, you can use a slow cooker to cook the pot roast. Follow the instructions up to the point where you place the pot in the oven, then transfer the ingredients to your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
