Pat the chuck roast dry and let it come to room temperature.

Rub a touch of oil over the roast.

Season the roast with steak seasoning, no salt onion and herb seasoning, and all-purpose seasoning on all sides, pressing it in.

Heat a touch of oil in a pot until hot.

Place the seasoned roast in the pot and press down to brown it on each side, including the edges, without cooking it through.

Remove the browned roast from the pot.

Add chopped onions and garlic to the pot and cook for about 3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits.

Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Add chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce to the pot, mixing well and scraping up more brown bits.

Sprinkle in onion soup mix and mix again.

Carefully lay the browned roast back into the pot.

Cover the pot and place it in a preheated oven for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove the pot from the oven and add potatoes, celery, and carrots around the roast, seasoning them with all-purpose seasoning.

Add a touch more chicken broth for extra gravy and mix slightly.

Cover the pot again and return it to the oven, cooking until the meat is tender, which took about 4 hours for the creator's roast.
