Season the beef chuck roast generously with kosher salt and coarse black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat.

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the beef roast to the pot and sear all sides for approximately 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Reduce heat to low after searing.

Add diced tomatoes, chopped green chilies, beef bullion, taco seasoning, and a little beef broth to the pot; mix well.

Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and let it cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is tender.

After 4 hours, check the tenderness of the roast.

Remove the roast from the pot and prepare to thicken the gravy.

Mix flour with chicken broth and pour it into the drippings in the pot; stir and bring to a light boil to thicken.

Once the gravy thickens, return the roast to the pot and mix it with the gravy.

Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes.
