I impulse bought this thing today at the new butcher shop, The Meatatory. They called it “American Wagyu”. It is 4 lbs, and was $12 a pound.

I’m thinking poor man burnt ends (even though there’s nothing poor about this), but will consider other options.

It will be a few weeks before I cook it, I’m working turnaround until first week of Nov.

I’ve done rubbed it and vacuum sealed it.

I just bought 2 at Sam’s that look as good or better for $25

Just kidding.


I like the burnt ends idea. A braise would nullify any quality advantage. I might try a hearty chili, but I am Jonesing for some chili.

I think chuck roast may be one of the last cuts of beef I'd drop wagyu money on. Just buy a few prime steaks instead

From all the recipes I’ve been reading/watching, sous vide for about 24-30 hours

This ain't a tri-tip d00f


I have sous vide(d?) chuck roast anywhere from 24-72 hours. 48 always comes out the best. So that's what I'd recommend if you don't smoke it.

ok, I have never done a chuckie but if I got ahold of a wagyu one I treat it like a steak.

I'm not throwing shade, but if there's one thing I've consistently heard from culinary professionals is that for the best results, you should use the finest ingredients available to you.

Who cares what it costs? He's asking the FDB to help him make the most of it. We have some wickedly talented cooks on here. Hook him up.

the problem is that all the good recipes for chuck roast negate the need to have the “finest” chuck roast. No matter the provenance you either cook it low and slow or fast and hot. Fast and hot on a chuck roast is a steak which really doesn’t need a recipe

Same experience here. Definitely more than 24 hrs.

Chuck roast can be absolutely delicious and super tender if you treat it right.

Sous vide is definitely the way to go. I would pre-sear before you sous vide it. It will bring out a lot of roasted flavor in the final product.

Once seared, add it to your bag (make sure it’s a heavy duty bag and not ziplock). Make sure it’s cool before you seal it. Add any herbs, garlic or whatever you want in there. Set sous vide to 56* Celsius. Let it cook for 30 hrs.

When it’s done, save all the natural juice in the bag to make a sauce. You can either sear it again when you are ready to finish it, or pop it in a 475* convection oven for about 12-14 minutes to roast the outside. Slice it like a whole roast and pour that sauce from the juices all over it.

Following day will make fantastic sandwiches! This actually might be my fav part.

I've been watching a lot of people do this but confiting the steak in butter and overcooking to the point you would a roast in gravy.

Then chill on the bag so it won't fall apart.

Slice off excess butter, and sear the piss out of it.

Saw a half brisket done this way then served as a single steak.

SV that MF’r for 30 hours to medium rare, reserve the au jus, sear if you like.

It will be exactly like a prime rib. It’s one of my favorite things.
