1 (3- to 4-pound) boneless chuck roast*

¾ teaspoon garlic salt

1½ teaspoon salt

¾ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup quartered onion wedges

3 cloves garlic, crushed

2 bay leaves

1 10¾-oz. can cream of mushroom soup

¾ cup water

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

 

Mix the salt, pepper and garlic salt in a small bowl. Press the seasonings into the roast on both sides. Heat oil in a large skillet and brown the roast, searing it on both sides, before placing it into a roasting pan or casserole dish.

 

Add onions and garlic to skillet for 1 to 2 minutes and pour over the roast. Combine the mushroom soup, wine, Worcestershire sauce and beef bouillon in a bowl. Pour over the roast, add water and bay leaves. Cover with foil or lid and bake for 3 to 3½ hours or until tender.

 

Remove and discard the bay leaves.
