Wasn't sure if I should post to Bear's original or start my own but I found some chuck on sale, was going to grind it but I figured I got 50 hours...so why not give this a go.

Got some Prime rib rub awhile back at Costco:

Didn't have the Lipton so I added a little of this (just a tsp should've done more):

Trussed and vac sealed ready for a swim (ended up double bagging, just in case):

Into the bath with the Wyze cam v2 watching over things. The Anova didn't have one glitch the whole 50 hours other than when I opened up to rotate the chucky around:

After the 50 hour soak at 132°:

A little sear on the Weber with a CI assist (I may sear a little longer in the future, still had a nice crust):

This was everything I hoped it would be, tender and tasty, with plenty of leftovers thinly sliced for future consumption. Thank you Bear for providing the inspiration, This will be on the menu again.
