Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Cut the chuck roast into pieces and roughly chop the onion.

In a pot, combine the chuck roast, chopped onion, coriander, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil, then cover with a lid.

Place the pot in the oven and cook for about 2.5 hours.

After 2.5 hours, remove the pot from the oven, and drain off the fat from the meat.

Melt butter in the pot and add flour, mixing until smooth.

Cook the mixture until it becomes a nice beef stock, stirring vigorously to prevent lumps.

Return the cooked beef to the pot and mix well.

If the mixture is too thick, add more water or beef stock as needed and cover the pot.

Cook for an additional 14 minutes.

Since cheese curds are unavailable, use white cheddar cheese instead.

Prepare seasoned fries according to package instructions or desired method.

Layer the seasoned fries on a plate, top with white cheddar cheese, and pour the beef gravy over the top.
