Roast Beef

1 3- to 5-lb roast
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Salt

Preheat the oven to 275ºF.
Generously salt and pepper all sides of  the chuck roast.
Place in baking dish. Add 3 cups of water (or enough to keep the roast from drying out and to have some for gravy).
Cover with foil, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.
Pour the juice into a saucepan for gravy. Add some water, garlic salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. In a cup, combine cold water and cornstarch. Stir until it is completely combined (no lumps). Pour the mixture slowly into the broth while stirring until desired consistency.
Remove from heat and serve.
