My suggestion u go 1 to 2 days in the fridge uncovered with the salt and or what every other spices u like. Then 225 in the oven and u would get an even better result. But the best result is sous vide 24 hrs at 131 then reverse sear.

Chuck is one of my favorite cuts. And even better is a chuckeye steak if you can find them. I worked in a grocery store meat dept for a few years, when we cut chuck roasts we usually cut the chuckeye out and sold it. Sometimes you can find a chuck roast with the eye still there.

I’ve been doing the Carnivore Diet for 7 months and discovered chuck roasts a couple of months in. I buy the family packs (usually two roasts) which I slice in half making each into a nice thick “steak”. Sprinkle on my favorite seasoning called “Pluck” patting it onto both sides. Having preheated my air fryer to 400 degrees, I place the steak in for 5 minutes, then flip it and do another 5 minutes. That gets me a very nice rare to medium rare piece of meat which I plate and slather it with butter. Chuck roast has become my go to cut for breakfast and dinner. 🫡

[@colonelfustercluck486]

@@lindap.p.1337 across the grain, at the serving level. Depending on what you are cooking, you may prepare a large chunk of meat with the grain, so that to serve it, you have to cut across the grain for serving. This eliminates the possibility of long stringy meat fibre.... everything is cut short within the cut of meat / steak. Across grain cutting reduces the chance of toughness, and if it's a little tough, at least it not unmanageable.

[@Glen.Black.]

Thanks for your various videos. I get these for about $3.97/lb, sometimes less and then cut it across the grain as thinly as possible and stir fry it with a little olive oil and some butter, seasoned (as I cook it), with a mix (Pink Himalayan Salt, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Ground Pepper) that I pre-make and put in a large shaker, for all my beef cuts . Actually very tasty, and not tough because it is cut across the grain. Strips are no more than 2" long. I cut the whole roast up at once, and put it in several zip-loc bags with a portion size of what I will use in 1-3 days. One goes in the frig for use, the others go in in the freezer. In order to cut it easily, I partially freeze it on the day I buy it, or remove it from the freezer and let it partially thaw. If you try to cut it raw, you can't get the slices very thin as it is just too floppy. Depending on my mood, I might make a kind of beef stroganoff out of it by simply adding some sour cream, after it's cooked. I eat it just that way, but you could put this over noodles, rice or mashed potatoes and it is very good. The olive oil goes really well with the sour cream. If you use a thickener, although not needed, make sure you put the flour or whatever you use in cool or cold water and stir it, using a very small amount of water. This will keep it from clumping. If you add flour to the hot dish it will clump immediately and there is no turning back.

I have a nicely marbled Prime Chuck roast I salted and seasoned with Montreal over night. Then I put it in the smoker for an hour, then put it in a sous vide bath at 134 degrees for 48 hours, around dinner time tonight when it is done. Then I'll sear it over about 1,800 degree searing station on my BBQ and serve. It is so close to a prime rib eye most people would not be able to tell the difference. Granted that prime chuck is hard to find and costs $10 a lb but you can find a great choice sometimes that are very well marbled. The sous vide makes it tender without overcooking. You had a nice cook on the one you did in the video but Chuck is tough and in my experience it is not as tender as a steak unless cooked like a brisket or low and slow like sous vide.

[@ralphknowsfood]

Your method sounds awesome. I have never done sous vide, I am going to have to buy a setup.

Hi Ralph, just read a how to on cutting meat that stated that roasts were family sized and steaks were individual sized. So you can "technically" cut steaks from a roast. Tried it not to long ago with a top shoulder blade and it turned out pretty well. Made about ten steaks with a 3/4" inch cut.

I like chuck! It's a good cut. I had some good success the other week with a piece of silverside. NOT super, eat with your gums tender, but certainly NOT inedible. Fried plain, chewey but not hard to eat with great flavour. 2nd tenderised with papain powder, it was a lot better, then 3rd piece sous vide for 2+hrs @ ~70C, then pan seared, was a tad over done for my liking, but was tender enough that the fibre broke down nicely! MY theory, the tougher, working muscles have the MOST flavour, & the more passive muscles, that are tender, have less/different flavour. It is always going to BE a trade off between strong beef flavour and ease of chew! BUT if you're willing to experiment a bit, you CAN kinda have BOTH, within reasonable limits, @ cheaper prices!

Gunner enjoys the occasional bite when I do a show, otherwise, he's stuck with just the bland food he normally gets. We normally don't give him table scraps, but he does get whipped cream when I get my cup of coffee. That's his big treat.

[@robinmaynard1640]

Is this a chuck steak or chuck roast?

[@ralphknowsfood]

I think this could qualify as a chuck roast.

[@beno.9958]

I think Gunner would have preferred his raw.

[@paulyosef7550]

Steak? Go Brandon😆

[@harryjohnson2207]

THERE MAY BE SOME EXTRA THUMBS UP BY GUNNER...HE HAS A PAW YOU KNOW..!

[@ralphknowsfood]

Gunner agrees

[@mikelam1677]

dog likes chuck alot

[@ralphknowsfood]

I'd like to say it's my cooking, but honestly, Gunner isn't that picky. lol

[@truthseeker3715]

I love chuck roast but i hate half done meat which by the way is dangerous to eat because bacteria is easier to attach to it. Thanks for showing how to sear a roast. I didn't know you could even do it. 😊

[@ralphknowsfood]

Thanks for the great comment.

[@cheftomsd]

Chuck is not hamburger. Any bacteria is on the exterior and gets seared, killing any pathogens, nothing unsafe about it.

[@geraldandres2224]

How about some videos on sous vide cooking.

[@ralphknowsfood]

Good suggestion Gerald, I'll have to work on that.

[@cashmason374]

What? Gunnar doesn't get butter on his steak?😀

[@jeffrowlette]

My freakin mouth is watering!

[@ralphknowsfood]

Thank You!

[@kimfroman2023]

Mattress Mac!!

[@a.scotth.9955]

Looks like the thickest chuck roast I ever saw!! I have to think this was a special cut by the butcher, not your normal cut chuck roast.

[@ralphknowsfood]

@a.scotth.9955 I can't remember where I bought it, but it was just from the refrigerated case, not a butcher special cut. But yes, it does look extra thick.

[@stoveguy2133]

A roast can be a steak but a steak can’t be a roast.

[@t-rozbenouameur5304]

Id just give Gunter the meat raw. He doesnt care..

[@davidrandall4001]

Sorry forgot to mention, they were cooked on the grill.

[@gtravel7721]

Dry ager for 21 days .... then it is great.

[@ralphknowsfood]

@@gtravel7721 I've looked into ways to do that at home. If I find a way to get that done, I know it will be worth a show. Have you had success doing this. Please let me know what you're doing. Thanks.

[@carolmoilanen4530]

I always buy chuck roasts and steaks

[@ralphknowsfood]

Hello Carol. Chuck roasts and steaks represent a great value.

[@tomsommer54]

When you cut it done the middle, it looked like you didn’t rest it long enough. 30 minute rest time for that size steak. Not bad though.

[@brianbassett4379]

Regardless of being able to dial in the exact internal temperature you want to achieve, a chuck roast is still chewy and more suited to braising. You obviously don't have anything to offer.

[@colonelfustercluck486]

yeah, you should ask for your money back......

[@henrykennedy1120]

Chuck eye steak is like ribeye

[@kennethavesato3883]

Is this guy a Marine he calls his dog gunner I'm met the last Gunner in the service back in 79 ,80 perhaps 😊

[@ralphknowsfood]

I was a Marine. My son has been a Marine for the last 16 years. My brother was a Marine and landed on the beach with the first group of Marines in Viet Nam. My grandfather was a Marine back when Teddy Roosevelt was still President Semper Fi

[@deannaduncan1775]

Dang the luck where do you live at me prices are that much

[@kohort1]

Gunner must be humungous

[@ralphknowsfood]

yeah, he's about 100 pounds of lap dog. Or at least he thinks he's a lap dog. lol

[@trex7168]

Gunner wants some more

[@ralphknowsfood]

Gunner always wants more. lol

[@OneWildTurkey]

I wonder if that chuck had been salted and left overnight in the fridge may have turned out more tender. Maybe mix in a little papain or bromelain with the salt and it should break down the fibers pretty well overnight.

[@azsheri8]

May I suggest you not use a plastic cutting board? Actual plastic particles in your food is toxic!

[@mikerudd4943]

Micro plastics for sure

[@wallybeep]

You use what you want, and I’ll use what I want. Keep out of our lives and focus upon yours.

[@DaBurghSteelers]

He eats raw meat 🤢 Who cares 😂

[@josephteper]

Good catch! Thanks for the tip. Plastics have PFAFF which lowers testosterone.

[@letitiaroark6878]

What is your suggestion

[@nieuwegeljo5645]

From the Netherlands: If you know your food as good as you claim then I do NOT understand why you don't use FRESH pepper and garlic instead of this supermarket stuff.

[@toddinthemiddle]

Tell ya what... come to the U.S., so i can watch you fail miserably trying to pass a blind taste test differentiating between meals with fresh and not fresh pepper and garlic 😁👌

[@stephangauthier911]

I've tried 275. Too fast for me. 115 is also high. I like them deep red. It wasnt tender tho.

[@colonelfustercluck486]

if you want it really tender... well you mentioned that 115 (Fahrenheit? like a very hot day) is too high. I would suggest cook it at that temperature for a long time, then brown (Grill it) it, if you have to... but a health risk at that temp.. Also the way you do the final slicing for service affect tenderness and ease of digestion.... for plating / eating, have meat cut across the grain. Personally 115F is way to low and risky. I would at least cook it about 210F (almost boiling) to soften it and cook it (low and slow), then brown/grill it. Perverse Sear.

[@Cyberdactyl]

It looks rubberish when it is cut and the it doesn't want to let go of the fork. 09:49 I'd say it looks like a cheap cut of meat cooked like a steak.

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Gunner didn't get butter.😥

[@merryhunt9153]

That doesn't look like any chuck roast or chuck steak I have ever seen. What is it really?

[@ralphknowsfood]

Really a chuck roast

[@henrykennedy1120]

Not 275 in oven 350 for 3 to 4 hours,

[@clayton1439]

Chuck steak, roast awesome... Not ranch cut
