4 pound beef chuck roast (about 2" thick)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tin give notice (14 ounce) beef broth

The lastly flavour is huge together with it comes from browning the beef good earlier yous pose it into the oven (at to the lowest degree iv minutes per side). Cut upwards the chuck roast into large pieces yesteryear removing whatever large white (fat) pieces that run through the meat. Some of yous bring commented that meat grosses yous out. I promise yous are courageous plenty to assay this cooking method, because your identify unit of measurement volition love yous for it.
