Ingredients

  • 3 –4 onions sliced
  • 3 –4 pound chuck roast
  • 2 –4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cans condensed onion soup
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons quick-acting flour Wondra
  • Chopped green onions for stirring in at the end

Instructions

Sear the roast.

  • Heat 2–4 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Pat the 3–4 pound chuck roast dry and sear on all sides until deeply browned.

Add onions and soup.

  • Add the 3–4 sliced onions around the roast. Pour in 2 cans condensed onion soup and 1 cup beef stock. The liquid should come about halfway up the roast.

Cook until fork-tender.

  • Cover and simmer on low (or bake at 300°F) for 3–4 hours, or until the roast is fall-apart tender and the onions have melted into the gravy.

Shred the roast.

  • Remove the roast from the pot and shred it with two forks. Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid if desired.

Thicken the gravy.

  • Whisk 2 tablespoons Wondra into the hot cooking liquid and let it simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.

Return meat to gravy.

  • Add the shredded roast back into the pot, stirring to coat everything in the onion gravy.

Finish with green onions.

  • Stir in the chopped green onions just before serving for a fresh, bright finish.
