Poor Mans Prime Rib. (AKA SV’d Chuck Roast for 48 Hours)

[BBQ Bird]

Beautiful looking chuckie. Just did my first chuck roast/steak with this method. I did 25 hours at 131 F, then seared it on the gasser. Holy cow, that's one of the best steaks I've ever had. I'd say it had just a tad more chew than a perfectly medium rare rib eye, but, WOW, what beefy flavor! Absolutely, no sauce needed. This might become my go to steak....if I have time to plan for it.

Thank You Bird!!
I'm real glad you enjoyed it !!
As long as you don't run into a tough one, 25 hours is plenty.
I posted this one for when we run into the Chucks that need about 48 hours to tenderize. And like I said, I can't tell ahead of time, which ones need the 48 hours, so I just give all of mine 48.
And Thanks for the Like.

It's a nice looking feast! One day I'll incorporate the sieved Au Jus into the gravy pkg. I did look up recipes for SV Top Round steak cut for London Broil and it called for 130-132 for 8 hours and it still had a chew to it cut against the grain thinly. You never know what the tenderness will be till the first cut/bite. The lipton dry pkgs are always great even the vegetable pkg with dehydrated veggies and seasoning sorta like a soup starter that I sieve out and remove from the juice/meat before searing which I sear only 50% of the time. It has more of a vegetable beef stew flavor from the dehydrated vegetables since cut root veggies never cook tender at such low temps.

Thank You N !!
That's the way I sometimes feel about the Crock Pot, when I look in & see it bubbling. However Nothing ever boils at Set Temps of 131° to 165°, so SV is my chosen method.
The long time it takes isn't my favorite thing either, especially in an area where we lose Power relatively often, including in the middle of the night!
