Sorry about the lack of pictures, I lamed out on yhis cook.

Smoked 5lb prime Chuckle at 175* for 4 hours, then vacuum sealed it and tossed it into 165* water bath for 56 hours. I was planning on eating yesterday but got busy so I let it go another day in the S.V. tank.

I par boiled then roasted up some baby red potatoes. The reason I par boiled was so I could smash them between two cookie sheets.
I sprinkled them with Lipton onion soup mix and some Romano cheese. Then I par boiled up some baby carrots, 2 quartered white onions, halfed baby bela shrooms and some celery.
Then placed everything on cookie sheets and blasted them in a 550* oven.

Made up some brown gravy out of the chuck roast drippings and the fond of the veggie pan. And blended everything into a C.I stock pot. I was going to make drop biscuits, but got lazy. So I warmed up a loaf of kalamata olive sour dough bread to use as a mop gor the plates.

Like I said, I lamed out on the pictures, sorry.

The meat was flat out melt in your mouth, no chewing necessary. LOL!!!
 
I didn't even get the money shot after the potatoes and gravy were added.
I got lazy about this one, sorry.

No food lube needed, holy cow was this stuff moist and almost too tender, if there is such a thing.
 
That looks fantastic. I did a chuck once for 48hrs and it was to tender for me almost mushy. So I only go 40hrs now, but yours looks delicious. Nice work for sure.

That's what I thought about this one. It was great the first meal, but it turned to an almost mush in the refer for leftovers.
