Can I add vegetables to the roast?

Yes, peeled carrots and potatoes can be placed around the roast before cooking for added flavor.

Roast at 325°F (165°C) for about 3 hours until the beef is fork-tender.

I first served this roast at a holiday gathering and loved how easy it was to prepare while pleasing the whole family.

Preheat oven:: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Prepare roast:: Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Place it in a large Dutch oven or a roasting pan with a tight-fitting lid.
Season roast:: Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the top of the roast.
Add broth:: Pour the beef broth around (not directly over) the roast to avoid washing off the seasoning.
Cover:: Cover tightly with the lid or aluminum foil.
Roast:: Roast in the preheated oven for 3 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.
Rest and serve:: Remove from the oven let rest for 10 minutes then slice or shred and serve with the pan juices.
