Well -------------- My Chuck Roast Results ????
All the talk about cooking with the Sous Vide, I had to get one.
First thing I did was chicken, turned out OK, not exceptional but tender, juicy and OK. The next thing I did was CSR’s. I was all excited, looked and smelled fantastic after a short grilling for some color, But they were not tender at all, Disappointed. So my next SV adventure was going to be a Chucky.
I seasoned up my Chuck Roast and vac sealed it and in the fridge.
The next day I decided to brown it first, so out of the bag and on the grill, then back in the bag
After 22 hours in the SV It was ready
I took it out of the bag, patted it dry and cut a slice off the end.
Popped it in my mouth and it was Chewy, Dang, not again. I’m thinking “What am I doing wrong? Maybe my SV is not calibrated correctly. Gave my wife a taste, she said man it has a great flavor but a little chewy. About then I was ready to throw the Roast and SV in the trash. She said get your slicer out and slice it up. So out came the slicer, and I started slicing. A little way in I grabbed another slice, WOW ?? This was fall apart tender and fantastic.
I went ahead and sliced it all up, some of the Best Roast beef I ever had. Made a couple of pieces of toast, piled on the Beef and dowsed with gravy, and some mashed taters on the side. OMG it was fantastic.
Two nice hunks of meat
