Chuck Roast 1
« Reply #-1 on: February 18, 2015, 01:50:26 AM »
This is my first long cook - at least 24 hours, maybe 36 to 48 depending on family activities.

Just a humble chuck roast (about 2.75 pounds.) On sale at my local Cub - had to give it a try. No fancy prep - just a rub with M-3 and W.O.W. (btw they smell SOOOOO good.)

Bagged and dropped in the tub at 131F. I searched everywhere and found a wide range of temps / times. Settled on 131 as something in the middle of all the options. I want it to come out more like a rare steak (can always grill it a bit if I need to) vs. pot roast.

Don't check back often - likely no updates until it is done.

Cheers,

D

Pam, already plan on the CI sear.

Do you think the extra hours made a difference? I am not locked into a time - open to your thoughts.

Thanks,

D

I think my first chuck was 48 hours. Cut with a fork. SV and Chuck are a great combo

It seems that - the more hard fats, silver skin, and connective tissues in general - the better the result.

SV really shines when we cook "less than prime" cuts...it is almost safe to say - the tougher or cheaper the cut of meat - the better it will turn out if cooked Sous Vide.

Right now looking at about 40 - 42 hours - supper tomorrow. Just took a peek - what a bunch of juice coming out. Thinking about a pan sauce!
