Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, smashed
Instructions
Set up your sous vide immersion circulator and preheat the water bath to 135°F (57°C) for a medium-rare roast or 155°F (68°C) for a medium roast.
Season all sides of the chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Press the seasonings into the meat to ensure they stick.
Drizzle the avocado oil over the roast and rub it in evenly.
Place the seasoned chuck roast in a vacuum-seal bag or a resealable freezer-safe plastic bag. Add the sprigs of rosemary, thyme, and smashed garlic cloves into the bag alongside the roast.
If using a resealable bag, use the water displacement method to remove air: submerge the bag in the water bath while keeping the opening above water, then seal it tightly.
Once the water is at the correct temperature, submerge the bag completely and allow the chuck roast to cook for 24 hours. Check the water level occasionally and top off with warm water as needed.
After 24 hours, carefully remove the bag from the sous vide water bath and transfer the roast to a cutting board.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add a small amount of avocado oil. Sear the roast on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per side, to develop a rich crust.
Let the roast rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve immediately with your favorite Whole30 sides and enjoy!
