Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, I like to prepare my beef chuck roast by seasoning it generously with salt and pepper. If you have time, searing it in a hot skillet first adds a fantastic depth of flavor, but you can totally skip this step if you’re short on time. Once seasoned, I place it in my trusty crock pot. After that, I sprinkle the au jus and ranch dressing mixes over the roast, followed by the sliced onions, minced garlic, and finally, pour in the beef broth—messy kitchen rule number one: make sure to coat everything evenly!
