Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Season the beef on all sides with salt and pepper.

OVEN CHUCK ROAST



Oven Chuck Roast image

Simple lil recipe that I came up with in college. Get home for lunch, quick prep, throw in oven, and ready when you get home from work/school. The meat will fall apart when you bring it out of the pan, so use tongs. Moist enough to eat "dry", but you can always throw your favorite BBQ or Meat Sauce on it.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck roast is a great choice for slow-cooking methods like braising and stewing. It's a tough cut of meat, but the long, slow cooking process breaks down the connective tissue and makes it tender and flavorful.
  • Brown the meat before braising: Browning the meat before braising adds flavor and color to the dish. It also helps to seal in the juices, preventing the meat from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the chuck roast its flavor, so it's important to use a flavorful liquid. Good options include beef broth, red wine, or even beer.
  • Add vegetables to the pot: Vegetables add flavor and nutrients to the dish. Good options include carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery.
  • Cook the chuck roast on low heat: The key to tender, flavorful chuck roast is to cook it on low heat. This allows the connective tissue to break down slowly and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Chuck roast is a delicious and affordable cut of meat that's perfect for slow-cooking methods like braising and stewing. By following these tips, you can create a tender, flavorful chuck roast that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give chuck roast a try.
