💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, while canola is budget-friendly.

parsley

🥗Healthier: cilantro

💰Cheaper: green onions

Cilantro adds freshness, while green onions are less expensive.

Season the chuck roast with garlic powder, onion powder, beef flavor, and Worcestershire sauce.

Let the seasoned roast sit in the refrigerator for over an hour.

Add 1/8 cup of water to the pot to prevent sticking.

Heat the pot on high and place the chuck roast inside.

Add the remaining seasonings to the pot and cover it.

Brown the roast on one side, then turn it over and cover again for about 1 minute.

Check on the roast and note that it is starting to reduce its own juices.

Add more water and cover the pot halfway, keeping the heat on high.

Cook for 30 minutes, ensuring the roast remains tender.

After 30 minutes, separate the roast from the pot and check its moisture.

Ensure the water has reduced to form a gravy-like consistency.

Turn off the heat and serve the chuck roast with sides like rice or plantains.
