Weekend Smoked Chuck Duo!

[civilsmoker]

Scored a couple is chucks at Costco on sail for 5.99/lb…..

Seasoned them up with a couple of Kinders rubs and then I subbed in some bourbon (1/3c, 2c stock, 1 Tbsp each veg & beef base, 3 Tbsp W, 5 Tbsp Soy)

As usual, on the RT 1250 @ 265 with the braise pans below….

I put them on @ 9 and ran them till 3 INT @ 165 then dropped them in the braise pans and vm covered them….

Chuck one done @ INT 205 at 4:25…..

chuck duo & INT 205 @ 5:30

Pull them and then back in with the braising sauce…..

I also did some sliced, here they are “resting”…..YUM!

We use the pulled chuck in various sauces and such my wife makes up and tonight was Marsala….man oh man the bourbon toned chuck is a perfect match with Marsala!

My boy was on shroom duty as well….he has this down!!!

The smoked chuck Marsala was placed over some GR mash and then topped with bacon, shrooms and fresh chopped herbs……I had to add a Chuck slice to increase the meat ratio on my plate (lol) oh and it’s been green goddess wedge week……

Smoked chuck Marsala money!

Wedge & picked red onion money!

………passed out on the couch in a food comma…..I sense a early am hike to offset the feasting….

Those Chuckies look great. Nice Job. I have never sliced them, only use them for BBQ shredded beef sandwiches!!

I'd take a plate of that for sure. Nice job!

Oh man that looks awesome. Is that the going rate for a chuckie? I never had one, I keep waiting for a $1.99 sale....guess that must have been pre-pre-pre Covid?...lol

Many thanks CF! The going price around sour parts is 5.5 to 7.99…. We find them as low as 3.99, the 1.99 price a distant dream these days…. We get 2-3 meals out of a typical chuck so it moderates the price/lb!

Thanks Robert! The slices were from the nice marbled section of the big one…..man o man they were like a firm meat loaf ….just magical. Some of the best slices I’ve had!

Tonight’s chuck bowl was over fettuccini, pan steamed greens and a Cesar with bacon!

The slice was a perfect addition!

And as alway my wife’s scratch Cesar salad, she has this down!
