As part of my subscription to Home Place Pastures last month I got in my package a 3 pound Chuck steak. Seeing Bearcarver Bearcarver magic with the sous vide and his Chuck roast I had to follow his lead on this.
Little coarse black pepper, kosher salt, and liptons beefy onion soup mix. Vac sealed it up.

into the SV at 144 degrees for a 32 hour bath. Got a nice sear on the stove with a screaming hot CI skillet. Sliced up beautifully.

it was extremely tender. I can only imagine what 50 hrs would do! The next one will be done that long.
plated up with some corn, green beans, and baked loaded mashed taters.

The more I use the SV the more in love I fall with it.
Thanks for looking,
Jim
 
Looks delicious.
40hrs is my maximum for chucks at 145. Longer than that they are mushy. So 36-40hrs is my happy place.

Jim, I don't have a SV, but that surely does look good and seems so easy. You people keep posting these SV cooks and you're going to make me buy one...:emoji_laughing:

Man Jim, that looks really, really good. I can only imagine how tender it was after the SV bath. Sadly Tracy developed a hatred for some unknown reason for my SV and made me get rid of it. I still have my crock pot(s) though :emoji_wink: Nice job my friend.
