Shopping List:
3-4 lb chuck roast
1 packet ranch seasoning
1 packet au jus gravy mix
1/2 - 1 stick butter
4-8 pepperoncini peppers + 2 tbsps juice
1/2 quart beef stock
2 onions
1 head of garlic
rosemary and thyme
AP Seasoning
Slurry - 3 tbsps cold water and 3 tbsps corn starch to thicken gravy
Directions:
Allow roast to come up to room temp. Season generously. Heat dutch oven or skillet over high heat and add avocado oil. Sear meat on all sides for 2-4 minutes or until a nice crust develops - then remove. Discard any burnt oil and add in butter. Once butter melts, add in your flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add 1/2 of your beef stock and deglaze the pan. Add in garlic and mix to combine. Add onions and then add back in your roast. Mix in ranch packet and au jus gravy mix. Add peppers and some of the juice from the jar. Toss in a sprig of rosemary and cover with a lid. Place in a 350 degree oven for 3-4 hours or until the roast passes the fork test (should be fork tender and shred easily). Enjoy!

Hi in your shopping list you mention Rosemary and thyme but In instructions it only list Rosemary. I have made this Mississippi Pot Roast 3 time . The first I did just like one of the recipe for. The last two time I make I didn’t version of it. It’s so delicious I can’t eat enough of it. I cooked mine in the Instapot. I will try slow cooking in oven or crockpot next. There are so version of this recipe out there. I know the version of recipe try first it didn’t have enough seasonings. I love watching videos and you have great ideas.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

@@ivanascott6809 thanks.. the herbs are optional really.. you can use rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves in any combination based on your personal preference

Ok the fork drop at the end was classic , this guy is a legend , and the pot roast looks amazing .

[@spagirl8490]

OMG!!!!! This roast is a whole entire "situation". I made it today for Sunday dinner, along with green beans, buttery mashed potatoes and hawaiian rolls. The roast was AHHH-MAZING!!!! It's soooo flavorful, extremely tender and completely falling apart. The juices made the best gravy I've ever had and the pepperoncinis gave it a nice little kick, but not spicy at all. This is going to be my "go to" roast recipe forever. Thanks so much for sharing it .

[@doubled1822]

Got mine going in the slow cooker and it smells unbelievable. My store was out of Ranch Seasoning, so used a “beefy onion” gravy mix in addition to the Au Jus mix. I can already tell it’s gonna be money! Thanks for all your work, and I’m a huge fan. I’ve made at least a dozen of your recipes and they are all pure magic.❤

[@chrisciampo4551]

I may not have made ‘this’ exact roast. However, I have learned SO MUCH about seasoning and browning meats..and..searing meats! I..was so proud of myself for searing the roast I am cooking right now! Made the the support ‘party’..added the roast back..back in the oven..for an ‘over night’ oven roast! I can’t wait for morning! Feels like..waiting on Santa!

[@travislee1658]

All of this guy's recipes look INCREDIBLE! I am ALWAYS in AWE of his technique and final presentation. Even more impressive for me is that he wears gloves during cooking. I'm big on sanitation and he definitely is on point all the way around in the Kitchen. He's kinda funny too he could definitely see him on television hosting a cooki ng show and interviewing various guests. He's a star!!

[@sherrywilliams409]

I make this roast often and it has the best taste of any I have ever made. Yours look absolutely fantastic. Everyone that loves pot roast should try this recipe. You will love it! And it’s oh so simple

[@tammyannryan4182]

I’ve made this pot roast before…but your version looks so much better 😊… perfect Christmas dinner

[@jamiem3265]

I love how detailed your explanations are, def feel like I can handle this one. Always been intimidated on making homemade gravy but this seems straightforward and simple.

[@sherrywilliams409]

I like to use equal parts of oil and flour depending on how much gravy I want to make. But can you really make too much gravy!! Once your flour is good and brown, pour HOT chicken broth in and whisk whisk whisk it. Then add garlic powder, black pepper and salt to your liking. I usually add some Cajun seasoning to mine like “slap ya mama.” Once it’s thick or thin enough to your liking. With the chicken stock be careful how much salt you add. Enjoy!

[@respectthycoil2379]

Made this w/o the ranch seasoning to save my blood pressure lol and it was AMAZING!!!!!!the absolute best I’ve ever made! Thank you so much!!!❤

[@atarisurf]

Love it. I appreciate how you use real culinary terms to describe things like, "fond," etc. I'm curious about your decision to use chicken broth over beef broth.

[@anthonychen8870]

I noticed that too. Was that a mistake? Should have been beef broth since he listed it in his ingredients list.

Love the blooper real at the end really wraps everything together and makes everything feel like a proper production

Gonna have to try this in the cast iron Dutch oven I just got. One thing I’d add in the last 45-60 mins of cooking - before thickening the gravy - is some quartered potatoes, unpeeled new white.

I made this along with your mashed potato recipe and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. I will only make my post roast this way going forward. As a side note, I only seasoned my chuck roast with black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. No extra salt was added outside of the salt contents in the ranch packet and au jus gravy packet. Flavor was on point. Also, I peeled my head of garlic so that I wouldn’t have to discard it since I love garlic. Awwww, this was so good.
