Beef chuck or tri-tip
One can diced tomatoes
One packet onion soup mix
Potatoes
Carrots
Sliced onion
Cabbage or Brussels sprouts (optional)
Cornstarch and water (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°. Place the meat in a deep large dish/baking pan with lid (or could seal with foil). Pour the tomatoes on and around and sprinkle the onion soup mix over. Arrange potatoes, carrots, onion slices, and optional veg on top. Put the lid on, put it in the oven and bake for 3 hours.
Retrieve the meat and veg from the pan. Pulverize the remaining tomato bits and liquid with an immersion blender. Or regular blender. Or leave chunky if you desire.
You may wish to thicken the gravy mixture with a bit of cornstarch (mix a slurry with a bit of water).
