    Maybe with it being SRF, there is something a little more "high brow" you can do with it.

    Sous vide 48 hours @ 132*  pat dry and sear all over, enjoy the most tender "steak" you've ever eaten.

    I only cook chuckies for pulled beef of which there are several options...all of them great.  The recipe I follow is a protracted L&S cook.  FWIW-  
    Search pepper stout beef ( a link above) or Clay Q's pulled beef for starters.  
    However, as @kl8ton notes, you may want to check out the SRF site and see what they have to offer.

    I like them either Sous vide and sear as @scfaf mentioned, but for SRF I’d SPG and rock it like a brisket all the way

    This is a Wagyu chuck roast, right?  I think I am with @Canugghead on this one.

    The newest Cooks Illus had an interesting technique for chuck roast:
    - Dry-brine, wrapped, overnight
    - Spread oil on surface, add pepper, and sear 3-4 minutes per side in a CI pan
    - Set on wire rack/rimmed pan, then into center of a 225º oven, heat until center hits 115º (med rare) or 125º (medium)
    - Turn oven off, do NOT open the door, and let sit until 130º (med-rare) or 140º (med) 
    - Let rest 15 minutes, and slice
     
    I haven't tried this yet, but it's on my "to-do" list.

    Why would you add pepper before you sear it?

    Personally, I wouldn't; that's what the recipe said to do.

    Amazing - thanks y’all.  Kids schedule changed so cook is delayed (was still mostly frozen so back in freezer) but I promise to post as I will cook this soon.  I really appreciate all the advice / links - good stuff!

    @JohnInCarolina yes it is wagyu, only ~ 3 lbs.

    I tried Pepper Stout Beef in past and failed, haven’t bought a chuck since.  Mine had a center that didn’t pull right & I was shocked at the amount of fat that rose to the top, felt like I skimmed away half the dish.

    I would like to incorporate SV this time, thanks y’all I’ll post soon.
