🥘Ingredients

For the Chuck Roast

2 lbs chuck roast
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

For the side

1 cup white rice
2 cups water
1 tsp salt

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 325°F.
2Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
3Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
4Add the chuck roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes per side.
5Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside.
6Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
7Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
8Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves.
9Stir well to combine.
10Return the chuck roast to the pot, making sure it is submerged in the liquid.
11Spoon the onion and garlic mixture over the roast.
12Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
13Cook for 2.
5 to 3 hours, or until the roast is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
14Periodically check the liquid level and add more beef broth if necessary.
15Remove the pot from the oven and carefully transfer the chuck roast to a cutting board.
16Let it rest for 10 minutes before shredding it with two forks.
17Strain the cooking liquid into a bowl, discarding the solids.
18In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
19Return the shredded meat to the pot and pour the strained cooking liquid over it.
20Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
21Serve the Mississippi chuck roast over cooked white rice.
22To prepare the side, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
23In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt.
24Bring to a boil over high heat.
25Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
26Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
27Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
