Need Help Please

Long time lurker but don’t post much. I was gifted this Chuck roast from Snake River Farms and I have no idea what to do with it. My wife wants to make a roast out of it but I think we should grill it or something. Any ideas?

I’m watching this as well. Seems a waste to cook it like a traditional tough pot roast.

Caveman might be the right call

Barbacoa A La Cen Tex. Can’t forget the pickled onions.

Tough question as a chuck cut benefits from low and slow cooking and dang near every time with a braise.  I would give them a call and see what they offer as I did not see a chuck roast on their website. 

Wish I had more-

Maybe a little low and slow with some smoke followed by a 20 hour sous vide and then a sear.

Oh man. I think it would take me a month to find all those ingredients. I’m trying to cook it tomorrow before my wife grabs it to boil it.

With as much marbling as that I would treat it like a steak. I would reverse sear it indirect, and then drop it in the coals caveman style. It doesn’t appear that thick.

That’s a cool idea. It’s thicker than it looks. It’s almost 4 pounds! It’s like 3” thick if I had to guess.

That’s what I was thinking and cut it up serve family style

Pepper Stout Beef FTW.  Crusty Rolls, horseradish, mozzarella cheese.

I can almost taste it!

That’s way to complicated for me. I’m going to smoke it like a brisket. I have seen a lot of guys doing it on tiktok and it always looks amazing.

I have been using Kamado Joe Big Block from Lowe’s. I never knew you could get such good coal at a store like that. The chunks are huge! My egg always went out when I tried the other stuff. Too many small pieces but not anymore!

All rubbed up and ready for some smoke.

You guys do some crazy complicated cooks on here. That’s why I don’t post much- mine are always so simple! This piece of meat was just too good not to post though, so wish me luck!

I just make mine look complicated due to my usually inebriated state and lack of preparation.

Nice bark on that beef.  Just go for the feel.

Well, it was really good! Was super tender but some spots were more than others. I chopped it up and ate it in a sandwich mixed with some sweet baby rays. It was awesome. If it gets any better than this I don’t want to know about it! Thank you all for the help. I have to find out where my friend got this meat

Thank you! I’m so happy it actually worked. I usually have trouble with these types of things. Finally got one to work out.

Looks good! What seasoning/rub did you use? temp? Time?

I just did salt and pepper for the rub. I cooked it at 250 but it shot up to 350 for a little bit while I was out working in the yard. I caught it before it did too much damage. It took about 4 hours once it went on

That turned out pretty swell!
