Chucky (Tastes Great, but not so Tender)
These Chuck Roasts I’ve been running through my Sous Vide Supreme have been coming out so Tender & Tasty, I really didn’t expect one like this.
The last two I did at 133° for 21 hours & 22 hours, and they were Perfect, so I saw no reason to make any big changes, so I did this one @ 133° for 21 hours again.
Then I Seared it all the way around on my Weber “Q”. It tasted Great, as usual, but it wasn’t near Fork Tender like the other ones were, unless you lean about 100 pounds into that fork.
I never did a Chucky longer than 22 hours, so I’ll have to try one for 24 hrs, or maybe even 27 hrs.
I really thought I had these Chuckies nailed down, until I ran into this tough old Cow part !!!
So I’m going to include this one in my “Step by Step” Index, as a warning to others that even though my other two were Perfect, you can still get one that’s not Perfect by doing everything the same way.
Meanwhile I will do some more tests to see if I can come up with a Length of time for an Extra Tough Chucky to get tender.
BTW: I used Worcestershire Powder, CBP, Onion Powder, and Garlic Powder before Vacuum Sealing this Chucky.
Everything else is in the captions above each Picture (Below).
Thanks for stopping by,
