4 dashes Salt and Pepper

4 Carrots

4 Celery

4 Potatoes

1 Large onion

4 oz The Butcher’s Block's Homemade Demi Glace

1 Can condensed cream of mushroom soup

Sprinkle the surface of the chuck roast with salt and pepper on both sides.

Sear both sides of the roast in a cast iron or stainless steel skillet – approx. 2 minutes/side

Line the bottom of the crock with rows of carrots and celery to create a mini roasting rack.

Set the seared roast on top of the celery and carrots

Place large chunks of potatoes, onions, and a couple of crushed garlic cloves around the roast

Pour one cup of beef stock around the roast on top of the vegetables

Sprinkle a couple of pinches of salt and pepper on top of the vegetables

Pour two 2 oz. cups of Maxbauer’s homemade Demi-Glace directly on the top of the roast

Place two bay leaves on the top of the roast

Dump one can of condensed cream of mushroom soup on top of the roast

Slow Cook Time: 4-5 hours on HIGH, 8 hours on LOW

Note: You can prep this the night before, place the crock in the fridge, and start the roast in the crock when you leave the house in the morning.

Enjoy! The Demi-Glace, mushroom soup, and beef stock will naturally make superb gravy!
