Cooking Tips

• Choose a well-marbled chuck roast for the best flavor and tenderness.
• For extra flavor, marinate the chuck roast overnight in a mixture of red wine, garlic, and herbs.
• If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can mix cornstarch with water and add it to the pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chuck roast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the roast in the oven or on the stovetop, adding a little beef broth to prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the reheated chuck roast with fresh mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a delicious leftover meal.
