Ingredients
- Chuck Roast
- Beef broth
- onions
- butter
- garlic
- corn starch
- salt
- pepper
- celery salt
- gravy darkener (Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet)
Directions
-
I got chuck roast that was already cut into “country rib” strips and the garlic i used was fresh minced in a plastic tube from the veggy section at the grocery store.
-
Chop the 3 onions (I saved half of one onion for a side dish).
-
Cut the meat into chunks that are sort of cube like. The length of cooking we will do will take care of any size differences.
-
Brown the meat on each side as best you can.
-
Stir the meat every few minutes. This might take several batches. Move the browned meat to a plate and save the drippings.
-
Add the onions and saute for a few minutes on medium heat.
-
Add the salt, pepper and celery salt.
-
Add about 2 tablespoons of fresh minced garlic.
-
ir in the browned meat and drippings. Preheat the oven to 350.
-
Add the broth and bring up to a boil. Once the broth is at a heavy boil, stir well and cover. Move to the oven for 1 hour.
-
Remove the cover and leave tips in the oven for another hour.
-
Remove from the oven and with a slotted spoon take the meat out to a holding dish and cover while you make the gravy.
-
If, like me you reduced the liquid to much, add a couple more cups of broth or however much you need to make the desired amount of gravy.
-
Bring the broth up to a boil and add the browning sauce and some cornstarch slurry. Bring back up to a boil and remove from heat.
-
Add the cooked meat back to the pot and stir in gently. Set aside for 10 minutes or so to let the gravy and meat flavors develop more.
