How to Make Savory Chuck Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut 8-10 slits about 1 inch deep into the chuck roast (approximately 3-4 lbs).
  3. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of garlic salt. Rub this mixture generously into the slits and all over the roast.
  4. Dredge the roast in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 packet (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix, 1/2 cup dry sherry, and 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee.
  7. Pour the soup mixture over the browned roast in the skillet.
  8. Add 1 pound of sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 3 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Spoon the delicious gravy over the roast.
