Cooking the other half of a $35 chuck roast

One of the best parts of sous vide is that you can cook steaks directly from frozen. Meaning that this is one of the best ways to cook bulk-bought cheap cups of meat. I would never use this method for nicer. Fresh cuts such as ribeye or Wagyu with the exception of maybe a very large tomahawk that needs to be slowly cooked to be cooked through evenly. After all these years, I still think that this is one of the best ways to maximize the value of affordable meat for a large group of people… or just one really big boy.

Though the items are tagged for sale I want to point out that I’ve owned this circulator (that’s the thing I’m cooking with) since before the pandemic.

ive gone to a few bbq places recently and starting to see chuck here and there. I always get it and it's always amazing. The smoked chuck at Leroy and Lewis in Austin was just divine. that was 2 months ago and I still think about it from at least once a week. . . chuck is amazing and way underrated.

I love making corned beef out of chuck. Brine 7 days, sous vide 48 hours.
And making boeuf bourguignon sous vide with chuck is too good.

I have Your chuck steak videos downloaded on my phone because of how amazing they come out when I make it myself

I've never thought I shouldn't put an expensive cut of meat in sous vide. It comes out perfect every single time.

Steak and pickled mustard seeds is such an underrated pairing! 🔥

Thank you so much, wonderful teaching of using cheaper steak :)

[bigsluryt]

sous vide doesn't make cheap cuts of meat taste like expensive cuts of meat, it just makes it harder to fuck up cooking it

A Chuck roast cooked for 24 hours can cause arguments among people who cook. The first time I did one while entertaining, people told me that I must be mistaken, because this is too rare and too tasty to be a chuck roast. It was hilarious! Sous vide is the best!

My brother sous vides tri tip and it’s the only way I like to eat it, it ends up tender and flavorful and not at all dry which is an achievement for Tri tip

There are smokers that can hold low temperatures for a long time, effectively the same as sous vide, but they are pretty expensive and require way more space.

You can absolutely sous vide ribeyes and wagyu. I do it all the time. There's absolutely no issue with it. Usually about an hour at 135°, then rest for a bit then a hard sear.

I never thought of sous vide for chuck and I always have them in the freezer. 🎉

Chef steps did a similar break down of Chuck steak preparation. Love this

[michaeltruong]

I'm probably the only person who doesn't like sous vide chuck roast. I have tried it a few times and feel that the meat is tender enough and taste better with a normal sear at medium rare. If I want to give it alittle more attention smoking it is loads better.

Was that some kind of fancy, whole grain mustard you put on the beef, and better yet, where can I get some?!? I'm obsessed with fancy condiments, mustard especially, and that whole thing looks like a cutting board of deliciousness gifted from the gods themselves. 🤤

I hope one day I can afford these tools for my own kitchen
