I don't have a sous vide machine, but that seems like a very large piece of meat to sous vide. Do you "cook" it for a week?

There are actually several videos that talk about sous vide chuck roast. I did one. Just remember even with sous vide, it won't have a robust beef flavor but it will have an incredible texture....it is still a chuck roast after all.....do it.

Chuck roast only takes 6-8 hours in the crock pot to be fork tender...

Hmm how can I extend that?

Yes I did one about 4 weeks ago.

Salt it heavily, like where you can see the salt building up on it on both sides, let it sit for and hour on the counter. Rinse the salt off and pat it dry. Season it with salt, pepper fresh herbs and put it in a sous vide bag seal it and cook it at 135 for 24 hours. When its cooked take it out and drop it in an ice bath for 20 minutes or so. Make some aux jus out of the grav. Preheat skillet or grill and sear the roast for 5-6 minutes on each side.

I’d be interested in trying one Sous vide. However, one in the Dutch oven is hard to beat!

I reverse seared a smaller 1.5# chuck once for fun. It blew our minds how great it was.

Here’s another way to use that chuck.
Smoking it after sous vide. If it has good marbling it is almost as good as brisket.

Why not just throw it in your crawfish pot?

I’d either throw it in a crockpot (usually do it with a packet of beefy onion soup and 3/4 cup of water per 2 lb roast) or make it into Vaca Frita.
