John Wick is a great steak grilling instructor
😂😂🏆
🤣
i was thinking the exact same thing. this looks like John Wick! and he explains well , like a regular guy. finally!
Yeah, this guy sort of looks like him.
I will still take a prime ribeye...
He even butchers his own meat…with a pencil…WITH A F***ING PENCIL.
Police knock on his door: “You, uh, cooking again John?”
“No, just sorting some things out in the kitchen.”
Welcome to Grilling With BabaYaga.
This video convinced me to get a sous vide. The first thing I tried was a chuck tender roast, 24 hours at 131F as another commenter suggested, seasoned like in the video. It came out as tender as a ribeye but the most unexpected part was how much of the rosemary flavor was absorbed into the meat... it was amazing, I've been cooking my steaks with rosemary since I started and they never had this much flavor.
I like fresh basil on steaks and rosemary on lamb.
Rosemary is definitely your friend.
I can't stand rosemary. 😝 It's not needed.

What is sous vide?
Two years late to this, but I did it! Set my sous vide Sunday to 131 for 24 hours, grilled the steak over charcoal on my Weber kettle last night. It was excellent!! Surprisingly tender and the flavor was great. LOL, gotta trust Grant! This is definitely a keeper, I'll do it again.
I just tried this approach for the first time yesterday. I was so impressed I had to come to RUclips to see if anyone else had done it. Glad to see I'm not alone. I only sous vides'd for 13 hours. Next time I'll go the whole 24.
It was AMAZING. Something about the chuck roast. Such a great steak when you cook it right. One of my favorites!
I do mine for 30. Personal preference on texture. Med rare still delicious
I have made this 5 times. Seriously the best steak tutorial I have seen because the cut is cost effective. This is seriously the best value recipe I have ever stumbled across. With traditional chimichurri.... My Gads!
Do I ask for chuck steak at the butcher?
@@hwanjung8230 yes, they cut it from a Chuck roast.
@@maximilianadair3237 thank you!
This is a Chuck Eye and from what I've noticed is that because it has become more popular cut that it is NOT as cheap as it once was when it was little known. Once paid $3.99lbs is now as much as $11.lbs.
@@MrDlv1969 I live in Canada and bought a steak that could feed two men for under $8.00. All beef has really sky rocketed in price (as it should due to the negative third party effects). A single rib eye of ewuivelant size would be $20-25
I watched this video and was inspired to sous vide me a chuck roast.
It was AMAZING and delicious.
It was pink on the inside, tender, intensely flavorful, totally delicious, and did not come off like a chuck at all.
BRAVO
Pitboss. 225 degrees. Pull them at 110. Turn pitboss up to 500. Open the sear grate and sear them to 130-135. Absolutely phenomenal
See my marinating suggestion somewhere among these comments. Result after grilling will be even better.
I’ve done the same thing with a chuck roast/steak. And I had guests over and NOBODY believed that it was chuck because it was tender and rare. Absolutely the most wonderful steak ever and at a cost that my wallet loves. And, by the way, I have the same stove except 30”!
What kind of stove is it??
@@sjackson9264 BlueStar. American made in PA. Expensive, but I found mine in the back room of the clearance warehouse.
Thank you for sharing that information....❤❤❤
I cook chuck steak in bacon grease for about 90 seconds on each side then eat it. Yummy 😋
Love seeing tips and vids on these cheaper cuts. The ones people are more likely to buy due to cost.
What, cook for 24 hours….joke!
Bro I’m from the future…it only got worse
Epic. I was skeptical right up until the first flip on the grill. When I saw how good that crust was coming, I was a believer. We used olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper in the sous vide bag, and did about 28 hours at 134 because my wife was worried about it coming in underdone; however, it was still really tender and juicy -- one of the best looking steaks I've ever made.
yeah, but how did it taste?
@@universalcollective427 Excellent! The flavor was good on its own but we also paired it with chimichurri and A1 sauces (both homemade versions) to keep it interesting. We ended up snacking on it all night long.
@@analyst12If a steak is so good and delicious, there's no need for chimichurri and A1 steak sauce. 😝

You cooked this perfectly. Better than any other RUclips video on sous vide chuck. Bravo.
This is actually an old chef steps recipe, and it’s absolutely phenomenal! A chuck cooked this way has the most incredible flavor. It’s not quite as tender as a rib eye, but it’s very close. But for the price you pay for chuck compared to rib eye, I’d much rather have the chuck. You have to try it.

How much do you pay for chuck steak?
@@jaysantos536 its gotten pricier lately tbh. It depends. If I go to a good butcher it could be 6-8 bucks a pound. If I go cheaper at a general super market I could probably get it from 4-5.
@@jaysantos536 Ribeye on sale in my area is usually at it’s lowest at $9.99, though more often it’s around $13. Chuck is around 7-9 normally, on sale for $5.99 on occasion.
@@jaysantos536 Where did I say the word butcher?
Being born and raised in Iowa, polled Hereford is probably the best beef. The Black Angus would be close. You don't have to do much seasoning for good steak! Salt and pepper and real butter. That's it.
My two favourite beef breeds.
Great cattle to work with.

@@jimsheldon3788 I feed my cow all the clippings from our Pot farm. I am curious how the meat will taste,
@@conniealldis never had GANJA tainted cow, how is it?
OMG ! ❤Loved watching this video. You make cooking fun! Never tried sous vide cooking. I’m sure going to try it now. Thanks for inspiring me :)
Been using chuck roast for years. Halve it, split those halves. You'll end up with 4 nice, thick steaks for roughly $10-$12. It's not ribeye but it is a great steak
Yeah, wonder if I should’ve done this. Mine really swelled up to nearly 3+” thick. Was more like a good medium-rare roast rather than steak.
I really loved your kitchen!!!
That looks amazing. . . Never thought about doing this. I always take a chuck steak and do it like a roast in beef gravy.
I do this cut w/o the sous vide*, but in its place I do a 48hr dry brine in the fridge. Comes out perfect on the grill, or on a cast iron.
* let's not forget that Breville, which owns Polyscience Culinary, also owns ChefSteps, and Joule, so the "need" for a Joule is the point of the video.
AND WE WOULD'VE GOT AWAY WITH IT TOO IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU MEDDLING KIDS!
Ah, good point. Dry brine is excellent also.
@peachmelba1000 Thank you for that dry brine in the fridge tip!! I was wondering what to do if I didn't have a sous vide or joule, and I just looked up videos on how to dry brine with salt ^_^ I'll try dry brining a chuck eye or chuck roast for 48hrs after my next grocery store trip! 🥩😋💡🎓
@@skyline1544 just don't go past medium rare, unless you just hate any kind of pink
@@peachmelba1000 I do love pink in the middle! Or even red for past ribeyes I've grilled or pan seared... I specifically searched RUclips for videos on how to make a chuck steak taste as good as a ribeye because ribeye is the only cut I've been able to get tasting delicious with my limited cooking skills and only a stovetop and oven available for cooking meat. lol
Chuck steak/roasts are excellent. Use them for my hamburgers, stewmeat and steak. Such flavor! Juicy and cuts "like butta" when cooked right. Great value.
I tried this and it worked SO well. Better on the eye than the strip. The strip was still pretty chewy. Made great sandwiches the next day. I think next time I'll find some chuck-eye steaks to really compete with a ribeye.
Lately I've purchased more chuck than ribeye due to high cost of meat. It's nice and juicy. A real delight!
We love chuck roast, chuck steak, ground chuck so much that we call chuck, “Our friend, Chuck”. It’s so good. Terrific flavor provided by terrific marbling. It’s the bomb.
You're a legend for sharing this! Thanks so much! :)
Great video. Excellent blend of education, technique, camera work and editing.
I do this pretty frequently. Chuck is superb eating in this form.
I learned about souls vide years ago on chefsteps. I bought a Sansair which fell apart. I bought Joule a year later and now I cook all large protein and prawns soups vide. Once you get the hang of it it’s super easy and consistent. Invest in a vacuum sealer too imo.
should we also invest in a rice cooker and vacuum flask?
@@d8J47QpR I did
Plus one on the sealer. zip locks leak. Also great amounts of water evaporate quickly. If you put the little floaty ping pong balls on top, it slow down some. I come home from work and could hear the pump cavitating once. You have to monitor the thing or you run out of water. My tap water comes out and 145 degrees and I keep system topped up with it.
Zojirushi- could you please tell me where you bought your Joule?
All of my favorite seasoning and I just bought a huge chuck. I love rosemary, bay leaves and any aromatic green seasoning. I don't have any slow cookers, and I have to use a cast iron grill skillet as I live in a small apartment. I do make a lot of smoke but it's worth it. This is the recipe I was looking for. YUM
I hope mine turns out well 😅
How did it go? I use a cast iron skillet for cooking ribeyes, but I'm new to the sous vide method...Did you enjoy your chuck?
Great vid man. Thanks for sharing.
this dude is on another level,over the top
Just made this…cannot stop eating. Not as tender, but the flavor is bomb
Yum, I love the way it came out. I. will try this weekend on in my sous vide
Did a chuck roast this week, 140F for 23 hours, then torch-blasted. It cut like a steak, but the flavor and bite...omg. If you love meat and haven't tried Sous Vide, you are missing out. Invest the relatively small amount of money in the equipment, you will have zero regrets. I only recently discovered it and I feel like I missed out for years.
I pull apart a chuck roast. Put into zip lock. Each day I bring out a pound or so. I use a cheap 48 blade mechanical meat tenderizer. I don't do too much tenderizing, but I do both sides. Then I pan cook extra hot both sides to medium rare. I eat it right after that with juices flowing. Bigger fat pieces get cooked separately like bacon. Yes, this is a confessional. Haha. I season with salt only. It's primal and amazing.
With steak prices jumping through the roof we will definitely need these tips for cheaper cuts!(ribeye is 14.99 /lbs at my local Walmart right now)
Are you in USA?
ruclips.net/video/qQhVMNflbE8/видео.html
AAA Ribeye 2 weeks back was $26 canadian ,now $37 kg @ COSTCO BUSINESS CENTER.
F**k wal mart
@Yeah Same here in NW Indiana. Cheapest good one inch thick ribeyes are sold at Aldi and were $10 lb for many years till 2021 and are now $14 lb. Though I've seen cheaper ribeyes elsewhere but they are sliced way too thin. Chuck roasts are under $5 lb though at Aldi. I'm going to have to buy a device like this and give it a try. Seems too good to be true : )
My butcher knows I'm dirt bag poor so when I told him I wanted to start eating lots of red meat he told me to get the chuck steak. Best advice and THE best cut of beef for the price. Plenty of fat too which is neccessary in the Carnivore Diet. Just as tender as any Sirloin or prime cut even fried.
Chuck Steak has the most incredible flavor. It fries up really good for CFS and tastes so good.
This might be the best grilling video I've ever seen
Wow, this looks so delicious! Really makes me hungry, why did I have to watch this at 11 pm? xD
Yea, I'm watching it at 9 am and now I want steak for breakfast!
That looks so amazing
this sounds so good i am gonna try this ASAP
I have been cooking chuck steaks several times this summer! It is great! I pre-salt mine the night before so I get a nice salt brine. The next day, I add my spice blend of choice and put it in an outdoor smoker until the chuck reaches 125-130 degrees F. After that, I take it out and put it in a vacuum sealable bag, seal it, and place it in a sous vide for 24 hours at 135 degrees. After that, I remove it from the bag, dry it off, add a new coating of spice blend, and cook it over high heat on a grill, until the outside has a nice crust! It is so good and so tender!
The Chuck Steak was one of the first things I cocked with Joule 3 years ago. It is so awesome! You are awesome!
Oh that sounds so yummy! Thank you!
I really enjoyed watching. great video
Been doing chuck steaks sous vide for years and it's as good as any prime rib that I have tasted. Outstanding!
So can you use regular zip loc bags? I'd love to try this but don't want to spring for a food saver.
Does it really need to be on sous vide for 24 hours ? For medium rare ?
@@joeochoa4030 Yes, it has to break down the collegen sp? in the chuck steak for it to be tender. Like slow cooking a pot roast only medium rare.
@@joeochoa4030 Depending on the size, I have gone up to 48 hours with no negative effects.
Find a Chuck Eye and grill that. You can thank me later. It’s the rib-eye of Chuck and is amazing and holds flavor well.
Obviously that’s gonna grill well it’s a steak.
In Mexico the chuck eye is called aguja norteña is a super popular cut to grill, great flavor and great price.
We Northen Mexicans do huge grill parties so we grill several types of steaks (skirt/arrachera, ribeye, chuck eye/ agujas norteñas and picaña) so you could mix some expensive and other cheaper and more people could try diferentes type at the party.
@@EnriqueHernandez-cw3vf I await my invitation. ¡Viva Mexico!
@@muzaaaaak me too me too!
Chuck eyes are awesome and at my local butcher shop easily half the price!
Popped in cuz of Just Another Cooking Show (mentioned channel in stovetop Mac episode). These guys are the new culinary breath of fresh air I needed for the summer months. If this steak vid is the norm, I think I’m gonna like it here. 😋😋
LOVE the flavor of chuck, especially Chuck Eye.
I have done this a few times but I typically do it for 48 hours, more tender and it comes out great
Agreed. I like in the 36-48hr range.
Been doing this for years now. Love it. Got a real Keanu Reeves look there. I also have turned a brisket into a Wellington. Super too!
I've always been a Fan Off Chuck Steak!!! Grilled , done right..... is Great !!!
Love the Portable Kitchen grill. I grew up, and live, near where those were made. Great video.
I am looking for a grill like this, any suggestions?
Got the Joule and cooked this as my first dish. Was incredible. Garlic, butter, fresh rosemary, and homemade smoked salt was perfect. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for posting your results! I'm bout to invest in a Joule, good to hear your experience 👍😊....Cannot wait!
did u also cook it for 24 hours?
@@TheTradertrainee yep
@@bryanchalker Mine is on the way, it'll be here in a few days!

By a Happy coincidence, tonight I had a couple of Chuck Eye steaks in the fridge that I had cooked at 129 for four hours last Sunday with a generous dusting of Montreal, I took one out today (Thursday) and put a crust on it with my handy BernzOmatic torch. Sliced on the bias with steamed buttered broccoli and a couple of teaspoons of Joey Chestnut Sriracha Teriyaki (hey, you work with what you have on hand) Yum Yum, others at work were jealous.

Love the sound effects! The photography is first rate too. Heading out to buy a chuck steak.
Looks great!
Heavily seasoned for 36 hours @131 is my jam. No seasoning on the cook. Then finished off with an ice bath (a must) and seared in my skillet. Toss a little Worchester on there and let is sit a bit before cutting. Chimichurri is friend with this. Enjoy! I'll have to try the bay leaf next time. Thanks and enjoy!
I prefer 129 degrees. If you're cooking it that long medium-rare becomes more medium in taste and medium becomes more well done in taste, so a lower temperature goes a long way here. Ofc to preference.
Sounds delicious
What does the ice bath do?
@@Alexander-qy7yz lower the temp a bit so your flawless medium rare steak doesn't become medium/medium well after searing

great vid thanks!!
I havent seen chuck steak
It looks 😋
Thank you
You hear it all the time in other videos but 9:45 is probably the explanation and demo on RUclips about cutting against the grain for steak
Glad to see this becoming common nowdays. I have been smoking and reverse searing chuck steaks for a long time. So damn good at a great price point👍👍
If price is the issue, I’d rather eat a smaller steak that’s not spent 24hrs in a 131f infusion of ziploc poisons
I've tried this recipe several times now and have blind tested it on 10 people. 7 people prefer this over the ribeye I was shocked. Here's to hoping chuck prices don't increase.

Loving how both ChefSteps and Adam Ragusea coincidentally came out with videos on chuck steaks a few hours apart, both touching on different methods to tenderise the meat and sear it at the end.

I've been buying them since they were $3.50 a lb and easy to find, and rib eyes were $5.00 a lb. Those were good times.
Hey, Keanu, I love your stove and window area.
Well done.

Looks great.
our local mom and pop grocer always has chuck steak and ribeyes. i had never seen a chuck eye steak til moving here, noticed it looked similar to ribeye, usually at $5 or $7 per pound instead of $12 to $16 per pound for ribeyes. so i bought some and grilled them. just as good as a ribeye, never have bought ribeyes again.
I've watched this channel for years but this is the video that finally convinced me to buy a Joule. You've won.
never heard of a chuck steak but a i have a chuck roast! when i was a kid my dad would buy chuck roasts and cook them on the pit like a steak and omg they were so good. great video.
Nice video. You’re making me hungry 😋
Whether sousvide or grilling or cast pan, take your steak to 129°f (then finish the sear if sousvide) and let rest 7-8 minutes under cover (pot lid, foil cloche, etc.) while it comes to temp (about 134°f final) and relaxes a bit, sucking the juices back in. Perfection. Note that, although you can leave sousvide going at temp indefinitely, don't do it with a quality piece of meat like ribeye or Porterhouse. Long times in the sousvide will start breaking down the meat and making it "mushy," try not to leave it in longer than necessary, a couple hours or just long enough to get to temp. The Chuck takes more time but 24hrs is a looong time.
I've found that seasoning usually is best left until the sear but you can use thyme and a little butter to add flavor... It doesn't take much.
He's talking about Chuck steak but, there's one step closer, a chuck eye steak.
Although Chuck eye has a bit more gristle as it's from just a bit further down the cut, it's also great tasting, juicy, about 1/3rd the cost and I can find it on sale, frequently.
It's absolutely one of my favorite cuts and I know a couple stores the have it regularly and at a good price, even while beef is stupidly expensive. If you're near an "Ingalls" market, check their meat case. And it's great to use for street tacos, etc. as well, just be aware they're not individually the largest steak. Theg usually come in a two or three pack.
You don't need rest when sous vide. Main reason is because with usual techniques you need your whole steak to even out after being exposed to hot surface for like 10 minutes. With reverse and especially sous vide you can carve right from grill/pan.
Also this steak is too long in sous vide. It's already mushy, i'd say 12 hours is enough.
@@vrnvorona
That's not true. Say what you will, "need" is a relative term. I've used S.V. many times. It's to the right temp but it's being held *at* temp with heat. If you bring them out, let them rest out of the package until they cool down some (which is the whole point), they *will* relax and, when you sear them, they won't get too high above desired temp.
If you haven't tried this method, yourself then, don't tell me what won't work or why or theories. Sometimes, things "just are." 😉
As for time in water, you're correct. Too long might not "over cook" the meat from a technical point but, the longer it's at temp, the more time it has for the enzymes to do their thing and the musher it gets.
Happy new year...

Nothing personal but your comment is kind of choppy (lose all the commas, not needed and by no i presume you meant "know") but, as to your question about buying one, absolutely.
They're not that expensive (Annova 900/$100-ish) and very easy to use, nothing scary at all. Read the instructions, look up a few recipes on RUclips and you're off to the races. You can do anything with them from steaks to fish to eggs. You'll love it.
I absolutely LOVE watching Grant! Love my Joule too!

I just take it straight out of the fridge, tap it with a mallet on both sides, salt and pepper, and fry it for 3 or 4 minutes per side. done. delicious!! and that's the cheap walmart chuck steaks. Little things but all I can afford. they come 2 to a pack for 10 bucks. (ish)
Haha I just bought a chuck steak and planned to sous vide it. Glad this video showed up in my suggestions before I cooked it!
I've read alot about no garlic in sou vide. I love that you did that because I like it too.
What’s the problem with garlic in Sous Vide cooking?
It can sometimes turn green from a harmless bacteria. It turns people off but it's not dangerous.
@@BlueDrumSteam I've read that it becomes bitter. But in my experience, it's fine.
It's very dangerous as it promotes botulism toxins from cooking it at low temperature in a non-oxygenated environment
Did my chuck roast (2" thick) for 24 hours at 130.5 degrees, coarse salt and pepper in the bag, then basted with sesame oil/teriyaki/ Lee & Perrin on the charcoal grill. WOW!!!!! Cannot believe how tender and the texture was as good as a $75 Prime steak in a fine steakhouse.
Howd you set up your charcoal for that cook?
Did you put any olive oil in the bag, or did you just go dry? I am doing a 7 lb Chuck roast this weekend and would like some coaching
@@swsmbc i never put oil or butter in the bag when I do sous vide, I don’t see the point
True chefs NEVER measure anything ….. not necessary
Set charcoal in a pile, I use lump mesquite charcoal and after raging fire, Spread out evenly. The objective is to char not slow smoke it. Keep rotating on one side for 1-2 minutes per side, depending on the flames.
Sorry for the delayed replies, As far as measuring, a steakhouse cook goes by feel and does not reach for measuring cups and spoons. Open your palm and drop your favorite seasoning in it with a see what a teaspoon, tablespoon, etc. looks like, pinches same thing. You will be close enough and never measure again with spoons. Observe your customers eating your food. If they are gagging….. you used too much 🤢
Chuck-eye portion is absolutely the most fantastic cut of the Chuck!
I agree! They used to be really cheap. I guess because they have gained popularity they have become quite pricey.
very well done👏
Already did my grocery shopping for the week, but this weekend, I will be trying this. If it works, I will be a believer of the chuck. Normally I just chuck the chuck in a crock pot for shredded taco meat.
Using that for tacos sounds good, I like to use the shredded meat & sauteed onions to make beef sandwiches. I make a nice brown horseradish gravy to put over the meat. It's absolutely delicious. 🌴😎🌴FL
Did you chuck turn out great taste?? Just curious, thanks
@@sdla690 Won't know until this monday after my work week is over.
been doing chuck steaks in my sous vide for a few years, he is right.

@@sdla690 Turned out good. I wouldn't say it is better than a rib eye, but I would say on par with a rib eye.
Definitely need to give it a 2nd attempt to get the seasoning down. Didn't have enough pepper. Also, next time I'll just buy a chuck roast and cut it into steaks, so I can have thicker steaks :O
My father owned his own Meat Market we could eat any cut of meat we wanted we always took home the chuck steaks it's only a couple of at the very end of the rib very tasty
What is the difference between check steak and chuck eye steak ?
I love how expressive he is
I make a jalapeno garlic Sause with cilantro . You fry the jalapeno and garlic in olive oil put it in the blender and add fresh cilantro salt to taste then blend it . That`s what I use on my steaks .
His sous vide bag seasonings:
- 2% salt at the end. 1% to start. 8g.
- pepper
- bay leaf
- rosemary
- smashed garlics
- olive oil/butter
It’s such overkill by a mile to weigh your salt or mess with percentages. At a certain point your wasting salt because it’s not adding to a better cure/seasoning, but even if you su vide it in an actual brine it’s not going to be over seasoned once you grill it. Don’t waste your time measuring
Oh you watched the same video too?
@@Panellll recap for people who may not want to do so.
thank you guys for sticking with cooking delicious red meat
your kitchen is great
Hmmm.
I'm going to try this for sure.
Very cool.
You really should pat dry the surface of the meat before grilling or searing. If the meat is all wet and soggy it’s just going to boil when it hits the grill or pan or broiler. This will further cook the meat instead of just creating a thin crust.
Your really giving advice to people whose whole career is cooking
Like he said, you have to have a hot grill, it will take care of the extra moisture....
--- cooks, like artists & writers & music continue to learn their whole life...it's creativity & genius to be curious...if one thinks he's learned already all there is, then nothing else is learned...guess you are just still very young & smug & srlf-limiting...good luck
Did you see his crust tho,
I'm sure he did dry it off. They always do in their other sous vide videos. You're absolutely right that failing to dry off risks "steaming" rather than "searing" and the Chef Steps crew would agree. The snarky replies you've received here are ridiculous.
I've thought the sous vide thing was just a boogie way of cooking that I found unnecessary for steaks.... Until now. Dammit. Now I want one.
Yes you do. they dont help much for thin steaks, but for THICK steaks they are almost a necessity
@@BradiKal61 you can do thick cuts of ribeye or new york in low smoker/oven and then sear, almost the same. But yeah, 24 hours is only possible with sous vide.
Sous vide also makes some killer steaks. Yeah the whole point of a steak is a piece of meat that has little to no connective tissue that can be cooked quickly. But sous vide will give you edge to edge perfect medium rare, make it even more tender, and allow for you to have a better crust as searing is done to your personal liking. Plus there’s no chance of cooking it wrong and you can prep many steaks in one bath and forget it.
Bougie, boogie is a dance.
Love your sound effects! I do that... cracking me. But seriously great video and recipe. Thank you.
Wow, that was just fabulous. I could almost taste through the video. You are a chef my friend. I love to cook with real wood too, but I have no where near the grill you have. Can you do a video on that bad boy? It looks like something that was from the old west cattle drive days. I bet that is a one of a kind. Thank you for educating me.
10:40 I may have watched this moment a few times lmao
Came out really good. There was a bunch of fat that we had to trim away after the cooking process was done. Average Wal-Mart chuck roast fed 2 adults and 2 kids for under 20 dollars. I purchased 2 1" thick ribeyes today for $27 out the door and also can feed same amount of peeps. 7 more dollars and don't need to cook overnight. Idk if it's worth it. But definitely something to do to change up the menu. Thank you. Keep the ideas coming.
Forget what you know about fat being the enemy...it's the potatos and all the other carbs you are eating and processed food - sugar.
Chuck eye is literally half the cost with approximately the same level of fat… So, unless you are comparing prime to choice, or just picked a very bad cut (or purchased chuck versus chuck eye), I don’t see how you only had a price variance of 33%… Furthermore, you don’t need to do 24 hours; that is optimal tenderness of a chuck steak (which I think is what he used, opposed to a church eye (which is the closest cut of the chuck to the ribeye)… Given you mentioned chuck roast, not chuck eye, I am thinking you might not be comparing appropriate cuts, and overpaying for poor cuts!
@@EarlHayward It's more interesting to do an entire chuck roast this way, it can sometimes still be $4/lb on sale and the out ring has great flavor this way and contrasts the inner ring.
Can’t wait to try this. Only on my Traeger reverse sear bersion.
Love the flake salt you used.
This looked interesting so I gave it a try. I couldn't find a thick chuck steak so I went with a thin chuck roast, about 2 inches thick. Covered with salt and pepper then bagged it with crushed garlic, rosemary, olive oil, Italian parsley, and thyme. Sous vide at 132F for 26 hours. Unbagged and dried off the surface. I was shocked at how tender it was just coming out of the bag. I also tried the "sauce" listed here but that totally failed.
Grilled the steak to a nice crust like in the video.
RESULTS: Amazing texture. A bit of chew but incredibly tender. Even as thick as this was. Large fatty pockets, because it's a chuck roast, but also very lean pockets.
The negative was there wasn't much flavor. A good hit of smoke from the grill and a bit of meaty taste, but just kind of bland. Also no notes of the aromatics it was cooked with. My suggestion will be to heavily salt and pepper, maybe some garlic powder, and dry brine it in the fridge for 12 hours, then bag and sous vide. This will allow the salt to carry through the meat. I'm going to take my roast, cut into cubes and toss in a ziplock bag with a good dose of kosher salt. Let sit for 24 hours and see how the taste goes.
Verdict on a thicker cut:
Cooking method: Solid A - great way to cook this and would be great to do for parties. Only takes a few minutes of grilling and you can feed a crowd.
Sauce: D - really didn't come out as presented.
Taste: Solid C - this includes mouthfeel. Amazing texture. But really lacking in flavor. I need to do some tweaking.
I have never found a chuck eye this big
The chuck steaks this big are sold as roasts most places.
