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 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
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.
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.
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”!

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.

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.
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.
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.

Chuck Steak has the most incredible flavor. It fries up really good for CFS and tastes so good.
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!
You hear it all the time in other videos but 9:45 is probably the explanation and demo on KZread about cutting against the grain for steak

Yum, I love the way it came out. I. will try this weekend on in my sous vide
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'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.
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...

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.

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.
Love the vid, and I've been doing sous vide for a LONG time (built my own long ago) but ... "Hammy" flavor comes from nitrate or curing salts, not NaCl. Dry-brine if you like the concentrated semi-aged flavors. Marinades, except for salt and enzymes don't work! Use Bay, garlic, EVOO & rosemary at the grill or pan. Butter works better on beef IMO. A technical/language issue. Proteins and even fats have specific 'browning reactions'. "Caramelization" requires reducing sugars which are not significantly present in the juices. Common error. The only technique issue I'll mention is that I've have a chuck roast come out smelling a bit sulfury at 24 hours. This suggests excessive protein degradation. Those particular examples were very mushy. It takes some experience to judge, but 20 or 22hrs does the job.

1. Processed meat producer only use nitrites to preserve and to give the pink color not taste, "hammy" taste come from the brine, seasoning and smoking process. Plenty of nitrite free products have the same "hammy" taste, just dull color and shorter shelf life. 2. Bay leaves, rosemary, salt, etc. Are the marinades 3. Olive oil works better because it can withstand more heat therefore the maillard reaction can happen quicker, if you use butter you'll end up with a grey boiled steak or a steak cooking in burnt butter
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. 😋😋
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.

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.

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 🤢
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.

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

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.

Love the sound effects! The photography is first rate too. Heading out to buy a chuck steak.
Since Grass Finished beef is already sold/delivered in vacuum sealed packaging on dry ice, is that sealed state enough to sous vide as is, then do the seasonings before grill/frying? Could the now sous vide meat be then seasoned/marinaded for an hour+ and the grilled/fried?
I remember the first time I bought a chuck eye whole and it was like I was in this secret society of beefeaters like all the butchers would nod their head in unison and wink at me and now with social media it feels like everyone wants to buy chuck eyes and now it feels like they’re more expensive bc now the market knows what people are using it for!

It used to be a “butchers cut” until Delmonico’s made it popular. Now it’s pricey, especially if trimmed and sold as Chuck Filet (usually only found at legit butchers, who only use the fifth rib portion for the steak). I’m with you…buy the entire chuck eye roll and trim it myself, and get a few good meals from it.

Chucks purpose is to make pot roast and gravy with mashed taters. Sear the chuck until it has carmelized deeply. Put in electric oven at 200 overnight. Pull meat out of pot in morning pour juices into a separator and deglaze the roasting pan. Reduce and thicken the mixture with corn starch. You can add all the thyme and others herbs when you have it in the oven at 200 overnight. The deeper you scorch the chuck the better. Instead of mashed spuds , rice is the next best thing. Not knocking sous vide, but that is my only use for chuck.

Steak is more dependent on how it is cooked (time, temperature, and pressure) than the cut itself… Having lived in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Vietnam, I have had some of the worst cuts in various dishes (thinking I wouldn’t like the meal) and was amazed at the tenderness and flavor… One key method I rarely see discussed, which I learned from my Asian and Middle Eastern friends, is marinading meats in yogurt (which I have been doing for decades now)… Yes, it takes time, and planning, but the enzymes (similar to fruit marinades) breakdown the meat making it more tender! Thus, I try to find videos with different methods, or tips, for making value cuts more flavorful (not only does it help me save money, it is kind of a nice challenge and helps me improve my cooking)… Oh, and forgot to mention, the pressure cooker - that really helps get the flavor out of bone-in cuts of beef, lamb, and chicken (not to mention shorten the cooking time)!
I need to try this. The carnivore diet gets expensive eating nothing but ribeyes.

You can also go wherever you buy your steaks and ask them to hold any Chuck Eye Steaks the cut for you. And with Chuck Eyes there's no need for the Sous vide. Just cook them to medium at most. 4-5 minutes a side let it sit for 5 minutes done.
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.

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!
