Title: Mock tender roast
Post by: GusRobin on July 10, 2014, 10:35:50 PM
Bought something called a "mock tender roast" (no idea what the heck that is) cause it was on sale.

Here it is unwrapped.

Removed some of the silver skin and added some pepper, salt, garlic.

Bagged and ready to go into the pool at 140*

See you in about 48 hours.

That is also known as chuck steak. A very tough cut. Should be good made Sous Vide!

Do you think 48 hrs at 140* will do it?

That's a good looking chuck steak, can't wait to see how it turns out.

No idea how to cook it that way, but it would make some nice smoked pepper stout beef.

I think so. I like the texture I get with short ribs at 50 hours at 135F so 48 hours will be a good test range.

After 48 hrs, I took the roast out. Here it is out of the pouch and before searing.

Full plate with sliced roast, roasted potatoes, roasted asparagus and gravy.

The roast was great. Very tender, moist, and melt in your mouth.
I'm really getting into this - now I have to pick what is next.

Outstanding Gus!

Don't forget to post the details of the cook in the times and temps thread so we can all learn ;)

Maybe just a little more spices before I vac seal. I have been intentionally using small amounts of spices and gradually increasing with each cook.
