Chuck Roast Souis Vide Style

[brrdnk]

This is what happens when you take a 2.5lb chuck roast and season it, vacuum seal it and let it cook in a pot of 134deg water for 26 hrs. Brushed with olive oil and fiesta Uncle Chris seasoning then on a hot grill for 1 minute each side. Fall apart tender, full of flavor and perfectly cooked all the way through.

What is your initial seasoning? I think I'll try this tomorrow!

I'm trying this also! Looks very tasty!

Just used sea salt, garlic powder, and Uncle Chris steak seasoning with a couple of sprigs of rosemary in there also.
Even better was the fact that it was on sale at Krogers for $5.91

It was very very tasty! It was very tender and flavorful.

That looks awesome!!! Are those special vacuum bags??

[TallTexan]

Looks good

How did you keep the water the steady temp?

[brrdnk]

They are regular vacuum seal bags.
The water temp is maintained by a Anova souis vide cooker attached to a pot. I have used a fry daddy filled with water before and set on warm and digital thermometer in the water to check the temp.

If you want to go the cheap DIY route, you can make one for about $40 using an old style crockpot that has an analog on/off switch.

You just need some wiring, two outlets, and a digital temperature controller. I even put a timer on mine.

Edit: btw OP, that looks pretty amazing.

This looks incredible

Does it have to be fully submerged or just floating in the water?

[brrdnk]

When you vacuum seal it, it will submerge. You want it surrounded on all sides by the water.

I have a hard time thinking that bringing a nice steak to room temp and cooking over hot coals can be beat but y'all have dang near talked me into buying one of these souis vide contraptions.

No contraption needed from what I see. Cheap crock pot, and a vacuum sealer. I've got a cheap food saver sealer I got from Walmart for around 10 bucks.

I actually saw that controller on Amazon when looking for the other.

I'm thinking I'll try the controller first, and then dive deeper if we like it.
