Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon rosemary leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 2 leaves bay leaves
Instructions
Prepare the sous vide machine according to the manufacturer's instructions and set to 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness.
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme leaves, and rosemary leaves.
Rub the chuck roast with olive oil on all sides to help the seasoning adhere.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
Place the seasoned roast in a vacuum-seal bag or a heavy-duty freezer zipper bag, and add the minced garlic and bay leaves to the bag.
Remove as much air as possible if using a zipper-top bag by using the water displacement method: slowly lower the bag into water, ensuring the top stays above water. Seal the bag just before it submerges completely.
Submerge the bag under the water in the sous vide bath and cook for 24 hours.
Once cooked, remove the roast from the water bath and allow it to cool slightly before carefully taking it out of the bag, reserving the juices.
Optional: Preheat a cast-iron skillet or other heavy pan on high heat. Sear the roast quickly on all sides, 1-2 minutes per side, to form a crust.
Let the roast rest for about 10 minutes, then slice against the grain for optimal tenderness.
Serve with reserved juices drizzled over the top or with your favorite gravy or sauce.
