How to Make Mesquite Roast And Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large roasting pan, combine: 3 lbs beef chuck roast, 1 tbsp mesquite seasoning, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1 bay leaf, and 1 cup beef broth.
  3. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and roast for 2-3 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
  4. While the roast cooks, prepare the gravy: In a medium saucepan, sauté 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped) in 2 tbsp olive oil until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Remove the roast from the oven and carefully remove 1 cup of the cooking liquid from the roasting pan. Set the roast aside to rest for 10 minutes before shredding.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup cold water to form a smooth slurry.
  7. Add the reserved cooking liquid to the sautéed vegetables in the saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Gradually whisk in the flour slurry, continuously stirring to avoid lumps.
  9. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
  10. Shred the rested roast and add it to the gravy, stirring to combine. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  11. Serve the mesquite roast and gravy over a bed of fluffy rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
