Ingredients:

• 1 boneless chuck roast
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 large onion cut in 1/2 inch slices
• 4 cups water
• 2 tsp. beef bouillon
• 3 garlic cloves
• your choice of vegetables (1/2 inch cubes) 
• suggestions include potatoes, carrots, green beans, mushrooms, celery, turnips, or whatever you prefer

Directions:

1. Brown the roast in a Dutch oven. 
2. Remove the roast and place the veggies in the Dutch oven, then place the roast on top of the veggies. 
3. Add water and bouillon and bring to a boil. 
4. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 hours. (If you like some of your veggies crispier, consider adding those in the last 1/2 hour of cooking.)
