Tips

– If you want to make a gravy with the pan juices, remove the chuck roast from the pot and set aside. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and whisk in a few tablespoons of flour until it forms a paste. Whisk in a few more tablespoons of flour as needed until the desired consistency is reached. Cook for a few more minutes, whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens.

– If the roast is not fork-tender after 2-3 hours, cover and continue cooking for an additional hour.
