Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 10:35:14 GMT

Step 1

Season the chuck roast generously with freshly cracked black pepper & salt on both sides

Step 2

Cut 1 yellow onion into thick slices then mash & peel 4 garlic cloves

Step 3

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a skillet over high heat, add in the chuck roast, sear for 2-3 minutes on each side or until a nice crust forms, then transfer roast to crock pot

Step 4

Turn the heat down to medium then add the onion slices and smashed garlic cloves to the same skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes

Step 5

Add the sautéed onion and garlic to the crock pot along with 1 tsp of adobo, 1 tsp of beef bouillon powder, 1 1/2 tsp of onion powder, 1 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tablespoon worcestershire, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 2 cups of beef broth & 2 bay leaves. Cover & cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-9 hours

Step 6

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, wash & peel 3 lbs of yellow potatoes then cut potatoes into 1-2 inch pieces. Once water comes to a boil add about 1 tbsp of salt, then add in the potatoes along with 1 garlic clove. Boil for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender

Step 7

Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine 1/3 cup of freshly grated parmesan, 1/3 cup of panko bread crumbs & 1 tsp of garlic powder. Mix then set aside. Wash & trim the ends off of the asparagus, transfer to a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet & drizzle 2 tbsp of oil along with the juice of half a lemon, freshly cracked black pepper & salt to taste, then toss until evenly coated

Step 8

Drain the potatoes (do not discard the garlic clove) then mash with 3/4 cup of heavy cream, 2 oz of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sour cream, 4 tbsp of melted butter, 1 tsp of ranch seasoning, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of garlic salt & 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Add more heavy cream if needed to reach desired consistency then taste and adjust seasonings if desired. Optional: fold in 2 tbsp of green onions or chives

Step 9

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Sprinkle the parmesan & panko mixture over the center & ends of the asparagus then roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes

Step 10

While the asparagus is in the oven, remove the roast from the crock pot, slightly shred into desired sized pieces & be sure to remove/discard any excess fat. To make the gravy, strain 2 to 3 cups of the broth into a small saucepan. Mix 2 tbsp of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of cold water. Pour into broth & whisk for about 5 minutes over medium heat or until thickened

Step 11

Plate the roast over the mashed potatoes & pour over as much gravy as desired. Place the asparagus on the side, I like to top mine with red pepper flakes. Top everything with some fresh parsley if desired & enjoy!
