Ingredients for Brown Gravy & Tomato Roast:

1 tbsp of cooking oil
1 tbsp of butter
2-3 pounds of chuck roast, or other type of roast
Salt and pepper, to season the roast
3-4 carrots, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 pound of baby yellow potatoes, chopped

Brown Gravy and Tomato Base

8 ounces of beef broth
1 cup of water
1 (14 ounces) can of diced tomatoes
2 packages of brown gravy dry mix
1 tsp of garlic powder
½ tsp of black pepper

How to Make Brown Gravy & Tomato Base:

Step 1

Place a large skillet pan on a stove over medium-high heat, add the oil and butter, and bring them to a sizzle. Season the roast with salt and pepper generously, then place it down on the hot skillet with the seasoned side down, and sprinkle more salt and pepper on top of the roast that has not been seasoned yet.

Step 2

Sear them for about 4 minutes or until browned and the bottom is crusty, then turn the roast over, and sear the other side for 4 more minutes until browned and the bottom is crusty. Turn off the heat and transfer the seared roast to the crockpot, then put the chopped carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes all over the top of the roast.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour in the beef broth and water, then add the diced tomatoes, gravy mix, garlic powder, and black pepper, and whisk everything together until combined.

Step 4

Pour in the mixture over the roast and veggies in the crockpot, then put the lid on, and allow it to cook on a low setting for about 8 to 10 hours or a high setting for about 6 to 8 hours. Cook them until the roast is fork tender and the sauce has thickened, then serve, and enjoy!
