Old Fashioned Pot Roast with Onion Gravy

• 2 Tablespoons Olive Or Canola Oil, Divided
• 1 whole Onion (1 Large Or 2 Small), Chopped
• 1 whole Eye Round Oven Roast (3 - 4 Pound Size)
• Salt, Pepper And Garlic Powder, To Taste
• 4 cups Chicken Stock (I Used Fat Free, Low Sodium)
• 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
• 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Pour one tablespoon of the oil into a pan over medium heat.
3. Once hot add the chopped onions.
4. Saute on medium heat until the onions are lightly caramelized and golden.
5. While the onions are cooking, pour the second tablespoon of oil into a large Dutch oven or other oven-proof, lidded pot over medium-high heat.
6. Once oil is hot and shimmering add the roast and sear for a few minutes on each side until a brown crust forms.
7. Season each side liberally with salt, pepper and garlic powder as you go.
8. Remove it from the heat once all sides are browned.
9. Add the sauteed onions to the pot and then add enough chicken stock to cover the roast.
10. Cover and place in a 350 F oven for 3 hours.
11. When the roast is done, remove it from the pot and let it rest under a sheet of aluminum foil.
12. Add the butter and flour to a small dish and mash together with a fork.
13. Ladle in about half a cup of gravy from the pot and whisk together until the butter and flour are thoroughly incorporated.
14. Place the pot on the stove and turn the flame up to high.
15. Add the flour mixture and whisk thoroughly.
16. Allow the gravy to boil to cook out the raw flour flavor and thicken.
17. You may strain the gravy or leave the onion pieces in for a more rustic sauce.
18. Slice the roast and serve with the thickened gravy.
19. Makes approximately 9-12 servings.
