A well-known recipe called the “Three Envelope Roast” combines the flavors of three different seasoning blends to produce a succulent and flavorful roast. Here’s how to succeed:
Ingredients:
- 1 (3-4 pound) chuck roast
- 1 packet of dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 packet of dry Italian dressing mix
- 1 packet of dry brown gravy mix
- 1 cup water or beef broth
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
- Place the chuck roast in a roasting pan or a slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, combine the dry ranch dressing mix, dry Italian dressing mix, and dry brown gravy mix.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast, making sure to coat all sides.
- Pour the water or beef broth around the roast in the roasting pan or slow cooker.
- If using a roasting pan, cover it with a lid or foil. If using a slow cooker, cover it with the lid.
- Place the roast in the preheated oven or set the slow cooker to low heat.
- Cook the roast for about 6-8 hours in the oven or 8-10 hours in the slow cooker until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven or slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Shred the meat using two forks.
- If desired, you can strain the liquid from the roasting pan or slow cooker and serve it as a gravy with the shredded roast.
