My grandma would toss a Hershey bar in her pot of chili. Never told us what her secret ingredient was. Mom didn't know. When grandma passed away we found a recipe card in her handwriting. "One Hershey bar" ahhh HAAAH!

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Makes perfect sense 😂

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

A Mexican dish I dearly love, mole (mo-lay) has chocolate as one of its most important ingredients.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

I'm sorry about your grandma's passing. She sounds pretty cool. I'm so glad she passed on her secret though. It wasn't until my mum developed dementia that l realised l didn't have her recipes for a few of my favourites. Of course, it was too late by then. My mum was a great cook but really dismissive of her cooking so, it was impossible to pin her down to quantities and ingredients.

[@josephgaviota]

@@nikiTricoteuse I completely understand what you're saying. As my mom was dying from breast cancer, no longer able to take care of herself, she moved in with me. I tried to get (without being _too_ obvious about it) some the favorite recipes we had as kids. Sadly, most of her recipes contained "enough of this until it 'looks' right," "some of that, just enough, not too much" and it was basically impossible to document. Sadly. God Rest her Soul.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

@@josephgaviota When l was in my 20s l lived in ltaly and ate so much fabulous food that l was desperate to learn how to cook. I was soooo frustrated when my friends' mums would be trying to tell me how they made something but, would clearly have NO idea of quantities and would just say "quanto basta", which vaguely translates to "as much as is enough". Now I'm mid 60s, and have turned into that kind of cook. When my daughter left home and moved to another city for university, l gave her an album of all our recipes. I wrote them ALL out by hand, on photo sized cards and sobbed over every single one of them at the thought of her leaving. At least half of them l had to cook just so l could measure things. Lol. Hearing stories like ours makes me glad l did it though. I'm sorry about your mum too. That would have been hard.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

This looks fantastic and l'll definitely be trying it. I LOVE cooking with cheaper cuts of meat, so much flavour and, with a slow cooker or instant pot, it practically cooks itself. Chuck is my favourite and is called Gravy Beef here in Aotearoa New Zealand because of how much flavour it imparts to its cooking liquid. I wanted to pass on that when/if l end up with lots of broth left over from something I've made l either first reduce it down by simmering or, just cool it, skim it and then freeze it in ice-cube trays. Once it's frozen l bag it and label it and use it as a quick easy flavour boost for soups, chilis or stews etc.

Thanks for watching! Let me know if you try it!

[@lowellmorton1708]

We do this all the time , but we brown it in a pan, then add water to deglaze the pan, not enough to cover it, but just enough to add some moisture (1/2") in the pan. We cover it with the onions, and only 3 cloves of garlic per roast (you could add more, we don't) and 3 bay leaves. My wife doesn't like mushrooms, so we use Umami Powder, which is made of mushrooms, but granules). We cover the pan with plastic wrap (Saran Wrap, not cling wrap) and then foil. Bake at 275" for 5 hours. The liquid is then placed in a pan and brought to a boil. I use Glucomannan powder (1/2 tsp.). Perfect gravy over the meat. We do this about twice a month with chuck roasts from Butcher Box. Absolutely delicious and nobody will be able to tell the gravy doesn't have any carbs.

[@budgetingwithintention]

I was looking for this comment. We don't have a slow cooker so we have to use the oven. Wasn't sure of the time/temp. Thank you!

[@sewTeri]

I made this yesterday,it was so good. Couldn’t believe that 16 cloves of garlic did not overpower this dish. My husband LOVED IT. Thanks for all the great videos and keto recipes.

[@ArtistInNewHampshire]

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! What I do with leftover braised meat broth is put it in a freezer bag, or two smaller bags, and freeze on a plate. Later, I sometimes use some, with a bit of tomato for a light beef vegetable soup, or add some into my next braise. Cheers!

[@BlackTieKitchen]

That a great idea for future braising!

[@ThomasGeist]

I have a feeling that this Thanksgiving there will be no turkey on our table. I am sure mashed cauliflower will also go great with this. Thanks Dennis!

[@BlackTieKitchen]

That, it would! And you can cook the cauliflower in the broth too!

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

Short version: Make this. It will be fantastic. TLDR version: My mom worked in a small local grocery store in Louisiana during the 80's and helped cook the beef for the po-boys (which made more money than the groceries). The owner learned the recipe when she worked for a famous po-boy shop in New Orleans. This is REALLY close to that recipe, and yes, it does need that much garlic and black pepper. Because they weren't low carb, they dredged the beef in flour first before searing in pans with the onions rather than separately. Then they cooked it low and slow wrapped tightly in the oven. The flour intensifies the Maillard reaction and simply straining the veggies out of the "juice" after removing and shredding the meat leaves the au jus to douse the po-boys with. When I've tried to make it without the flour, the flavor was still awesome, but not quite as deep -- I'm betting the crimini and chocolate would work to get that extra richness back.

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Ohhh that sounds really good! The flour DOES increase the maillard reaction, but as you know, since we are aiming for lowcarb, thats not within the parameters. Its nice to know that Im not the only one thats come to the conclusion that you really do need that much garlic AND black pepper

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

@@BlackTieKitchen Right, that's why I'm excited to try this with the mushrooms and chocolate instead of the flour. Going to Costco today and will add chuck roast to the list. I'll comment with the results. BTW, they actually used even more garlic (5 cloves per pound) but didn't chop or sear it.

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Yeah - there is definitely room to add more!

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

@@BlackTieKitchen Made it. It WAS fantastic. To be fair to the recipe, I followed it as specified. It turned out perfectly. This will be added to my regular meal rotation, though I can't promise not to tweak it in the future 🙂.

I watched this yesterday (Patreon), this made my stomach do a happy dance and make loud sounds of desire (was afraid the neighbors were going to call the police on me). So today I gathered all the ingredients and followed your instructions to the letter cause you have never steered me (us) wrong. Now for the hard part - waiting, waiting, waiting.

With a chuck roast I would either braise it or use the slow cooker. Roasting it will only dry it out.

This looks incredible. I would never have thought to use cocoa powder...but you are 100% accurate in never steering us wrong so in it will go. For those of us with low tech, 1980s style, low-speed/high drag Crock Pots - should I set this on High for the 6 hours? Cheers!

If I buy garlic from the grocery store than I can see using that much garlic, but if I buy it locally grown, I have to scale it back (as they are very fragrant and potent) or the dish will only taste garlic. The addition of cocoa is very intriguing.

Making this for the first time tonight with the instant pot duo and after tgree hours the liquid was still luke warm. I thought 6 hours sounded like a long time as I'd brased beef using an oven and stainless frying pan with a lid. I decided to pressure cook it before finishing a coue of hours on slow cook. I don't think a traditional crock pot will need to go for that long. Might have been fine if I got everything ready amd set it in the morning, but I think a good alternative would be to start hot and then slow cook an hour or 2.

[@vincentbrancato5146]

Making this right now! Slight alteration on the quantity of some ingredients (not by choice). I'm looking forward to seeing what the mushrooms and chocolate do when cooked down with the beef and broth. Sounds incredible. I think I'm going to eat it over some egg noodles with a side of sprouts.

I tried this recipe today, December 17,2023 and I must say that the beef was very good and tasty. HOWEVER....my experience has been that when I eat at many establishments in the US, the food (meats and gravy, baked potatoes etc) is far too salty. I have always said that Americans LOVE salt. (I live in Canada) I have cooked for 45 years, and I would say that this would be much better with LESS. I only used two tablespoons of Kosher salt and it was STILL way too salty. And I'm not sure exactly what the cocoa powder was supposed to do. I didn't find much difference between this and other slow cooker roasts that I have done. Anyway, besides being too salty (especially the gravy) I certainly enjoyed the meal.

[@joanprout9619]

The cooker is due to ding in 30 minutes. Didn't have Dutch cocoa so used the cheap domestic . Sprouts and about 6 small gold taters have been tossed with K salt and dried thyme and sit , cut-sidedownon a small parchment lined sheet pan I'll turn on the oven when the timer dings. My roast was less than 1.5#. But we're a 2-person fam so I hoping for a half hour of play to get the veggies roasted after meat is done!
