Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Prepare the seasonings: onion powder, garlic, rosemary, salt, basil, and minced red pepper.

Brown the beef chuck roast in a skillet with garlic oil, turning occasionally to ensure even browning.

Do not add seasonings to the roast until after browning to prevent burning.

Once browned, add about ½ cup of water to the skillet.

Sprinkle the seasonings over the browned roast.

Cover the skillet and transfer it to the oven.

Cook the roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, checking occasionally.

After 1.5 hours, check the roast and add chopped onions, potatoes, and carrots.

Prepare a slurry with 3 tablespoons of flour, water, and a little milk to thicken the gravy.

Pour the slurry over the roast and vegetables in the oven.
