Servings: persons

1 (1 1/2 lb) chuck roast, abt 1 1/2 lbs (I cut a 3lb roast in half, froze the other half for another time)
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, cut in large dice
1 teaspoon beef base
1 cup hot water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon herbes de provence
1 teaspoon Gravy Master
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon water

1
In a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder ( it makes for a better distribution of the seasonings).
2
Sprinkle beef with the mixed seasoning on all sides.
3
Brown the chuck roast in the oil on all sides (I use my Le Creuset 2-Quart Round French Oven).
4
Add the onion to the pot and saute until light golden color.
5
Dissolve the beef base in hot water.
6
Pour the resulting broth around the roast in the pot.
7
Bring the broth up to a bubble, immediately cover, and turn down the heat to a simmer.
8
Cook at a simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
9
Remove meat from pan and keep warm by covering with foil.
10
Mix the flour and water together to create a slurry.
11
Add the gravy master to simmering broth.
12
Slowing pour the slurry into the pan while stirring with a whisk to ensure no lumps form.
13
Simmer for a couple of minutes to cook the flour.
14
Taste and correct seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and garlic powder blend if needed.
15
NOTE: The salt, pepper, garlic powder blend is actually Paula Deen's House Seasoning, see recipe #57340.
