OT - chuck roast sous vide

Hans61

in Off Topic
It's been claimed that chuck roast can be turned into prime rib. @fishlessman
Read some articles and watched some videos. Putting it to the test. I bought a 4lb choice roast. Little Olive oil - salt, pepper, Weber's garlic and herb rub and a little garlic powder. Gonna go 25hrs in the water bath at 139.5, plan is to sear open lid over screaming hot coals just prior to service. Probably make some kind of horse radish sauce :-) really looking forward to this! 

Any my comments suggestions welcome this is my third sous vide cook

    I'm going to add some water before bed. How much h2o do you think I'll lose in 8hrs?

    Cover it with foil or plastic wrap and you won't loose much at all.

    Keep us posted. I run mine cooler, 131-134, so I am interested to see how 139 turns out. SV chuck roast is great stuff.

    I did a lamb roast last weekend. SV at 131 for 24 hrs then 138 for another 6 hours so it would be closer to medium, as my family mostly doesn't like it as pink as I do. It turned out very well, almost too tender for my liking. There's a lot for me to learn about all the time/temperature possibilities.

    @blind99 The YouTube videos I watched on chuck ranged from 8hrs to 48hrs. Here's a good one that went 18

    would you go less time on the lamb next time?

    A little less on the lamb wouldn't hurt, and I wouldn't go out of my way to go really long, like 48 hours. 

    The lamb leftovers were awesome.  (Gyros, lamb ragu on papardelle.)  

    But I've never tried 48 hours with chuck, either, so it's just a guess.  I think your plan is a great starting point and I'm looking forward to the final result.

    Yeah pretty sure it was like that when we moved here.

    Looks really good!
    whats the texture? Is it more like a sliced steak than a pulled roast? Would it shred?

    It's tender, swmbo said it was in between sliced steak and pulled roast flavor, texture was more like steak, it wouldn't shred that easy

    Great cook. I've gotta get a Sous vide... but really want a scope for my birthday present to myself.

    Very nice

    the texture of the ones I have done have been like a lean strip steak. I really like it. Definitely doesn't shred. And leftovers are great for sandwiches, chili, etc
