Hot Beef Sandwiches- Dutch Oven

• 1 tablespoon lard or 1 tablespoon shortening
• 4 -5 lbs boneless chuck roast
• 5 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup water

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt lard in the dutch oven or very heavy bottomed pot with lid, over medium high heat.
3. Salt & pepper all sides of roast.
4. When the lard is starting to give off a "hot" smell, place roast in the pot.
5. Sear the roast on each side for 1 minute to help sear in the juices.
6. Place garlic cloves & onion slices all around the roast & stir to brown them a bit (don't carmelize the onions).
7. Mix the Kitchen Bouquet in with 2 cups of water. Pour the water mixture over the roast. Bring to a boil.
8. Cover tightly and place in a lower portion of the oven. Roast for 1 hour. Half way through the roasting time, turn the roast over.
9. Once done, place the roast on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm (actually hot). Place dutch oven back on the stove over medium heat.
10. Mix together cornstarch & 1/2 cup water. Stir into dutch oven while mashing up the garlic cloves. Bring to a boil & season to taste. Remove from stove.
11. Slice roast & place back into the dutch oven- serve on toast with mashed potatoes.
12. Enjoy!
