Instructions
1
In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chuck roast in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
2
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side, including the edges, until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
3
In a Pyrex or large casserole dish, whisk together the onion gravy mix, peppercorn gravy mix, red wine, and water until well combined.
4
Carefully place the seared chuck roast into the mixture, ensuring it's mostly submerged. Top with the sliced mushrooms.
5
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil or a lid and place it in a preheated oven at 400°F. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
6
About 20 minutes before the roast is done, remove it from the oven. Carefully scoop out about 2 cups of the cooking liquid into a saucepan. Add additional sliced mushrooms and heat over medium heat until the gravy thickens slightly.
7
Once the gravy is ready, return to the roast, remove the cover, and let the top brown for about 15 minutes. Ensure the edges of the meat are crispy.
8
Remove from oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with the mushroom gravy poured over, alongside mashed potatoes or your favorite sides.
