Easy Chuck Roast In Foil Recipes

EASY CHUCK ROAST IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300℉. Place the roast on a large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil (or a double layer of regular) that has been set on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub a thin layer of olive oil over both sides of the roast. Sprinkle half of the soup mix packet on the top of the roast, half on the bottom. This will act as a dry rub. Bring the sides of the foil up and fold over to seal them, and then fold over the ends a few times to seal them, too. You will have a packet that should hold the juice that will cook out of the roast, but the baking sheet is essential as leaks do occur. (I do leave a bit of an air pocket at the top of the packet rather than wrapping the roast tight.) Bake the roast for 3½ hours or until the meat is fall-apart tender. If your roast is in the 3½ to 4-pound range, cook for approximately 4 hours. Remove the tray from the oven and allow the roast to sit, in the packet, for 10 minutes (longer is fine). When opening the foil packet, be careful of the hot steam that will escape. Serve right from the foil or transfer the meat to a serving dish and pour the juices overtop.**
