Delicious Sous Vide Chuck Roast Recipe with Gravy (Super Tender!)

★★★★★ 5 from 1 reviews

Unlike a regular pot roast, the Sous Vide Chuck Roast is extremely aromatic, tender, and moist. This sous vide recipe turns a cheap difficult piece of chuck roast, bottom round roast, or rump roast into the most exquisite beef roast that rivals the pricey prime rib in just 24 hours. Oh my goodness, it’s a game-changer!

WHY SOUS VIDE CHUCK ROAST?

The best method to make pot roast is to cook it sous vide! When cooking tough pieces like chuck roast or rump roast, the meat is braised for a lengthy time in the oven or slow cooker until it is totally done. Sous vide helps you to cook these difficult steaks evenly to rare or medium-rare by precisely controlling the temperature.

What’s the best part? The flavor of sous vide chuck roast is similar to prime rib, but at a fraction of the price! It transforms a tough cut into supple, melt-in-your-mouth meat. It’s almost magical, and you should try it!

In French, sous vide means “under vacuum.” It’s a cooking method in which items are vacuum-sealed in a bag and then cooked in a warm water bath for a long time at a precise temperature. The meal is never cooked beyond the temperature that has been specified.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

• Our best choice is a boneless beef chuck roast, which comes from the cow’s shoulder and has excellent marbling. You can also use bottom round roast or rump roast.
• Olive Oil: For this recipe, regular olive oil works well.
• Garlic powder adds depth and complexity to the dish. Fresh garlic, minced, can also be used.
• Rosemary: Gives the seasoning a smokey, savory kick. I used fresh rosemary that I sliced into little bits, but dried rosemary would also work.
• You can use either granulated or brown sugar.
• I used Kosher salt, but normal salt or sea salt will suffice.
• Pepper: The best pepper is freshly ground black pepper.
• You’ll need cornstarch, water, salt, and pepper to make the gravy.

HOW TO MAKE SOUS VIDE CHUCK ROAST

Sous vide pot roast is simple to prepare: season and seal the meat in only a few minutes, and the sous vide machine will take care of the rest!

1. 1. Make chuck roast seasoning: I like to include salt, pepper, garlic powder, sugar, and rosemary in my seasoning. All over the roast, rub the olive oil and seasoning combination. To get out the greatest taste in your roast, generously season it.
   
2. If using a zip-loc bag, drop the seasoned roast inside, close all but one corner of the bag, and place it in the water bath slowly. Make sure the area below the zip-line is completely submerged in water. The rest of the bag should then be sealed.
   
3. Put the roast in the water bath: Place the vacuum-sealed bag in a warm water bath for sous vide cooking.
   
4. Cook the roast sous vide: Cover the saucepan with aluminum foil and cook for 24 hours at 136°F (58°C). (Water evaporation will be reduced by using aluminum foil.)
   
5. Remove the roast from the bag and blot dry with paper towels before finishing with a brief sear. In a heated skillet, immediately crisp the outside of the roast for about 1 minute per side.
   
6. Pour the liquids into a skillet and add cornstarch, salt, and pepper to make the gravy. Cook for 5 minutes to thicken the juice and turn it into a lovely gravy. Slice the roast against the grain and pour the gravy over it.

PRO TIPS FOR THE BEST SOUS VIDE CHUCK ROAST

What type of roast should I buy? Beef chuck roast is my preferred cut for this dish. Shoulder roasts, round roasts, rump roasts, and briskets are also popular alternatives.

How to seal a bag without a vacuum sealer?

If you don’t have a vacuum sealer, a zip-loc bag that is safe for sous vide cooking can be used instead. The “water displacement method” is used to vacuum-close the bag: just insert the seasoned chuck roast in the bag and seal all but one corner. Slowly lower it into the water bath, making sure that everything below the zip-line is submerged. The rest of the bag should then be sealed.

Regularly check the water level and, if necessary, add extra water.

WHAT TEMPERATURE TO SOUS VIDE CHUCK ROAST?

We cook the sous vide pot roast to 136°F (58°C) for medium-rare to make it taste like prime rib. Set the temperature to 170°F (76°C) if you want the texture of a conventional fall-apart roast that you can shred. Follow the chart below for different levels of completion:

HOW LONG DO I SOUS VIDE CHUCK ROAST?

The chuck roast is a difficult cut that takes a long time to cook. I cooked mine for 24 hours, but you may cook it for 20 to 30 hours if you choose. The cooking time for a chuck roast cooked from frozen is the same

GRAVY ADDS GREAT FLAVOR TO THE ROAST

Don’t toss the meat’s tasty juices out the window! We can make a delectable gravy out of them, which you can spread over everything.

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and pour the juices and browned drippings into it to make the gravy. When it starts to bubble, sprinkle 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water on top and stir constantly. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened. If necessary, season with salt and pepper to taste.

This gravy is the icing on the cake that ties everything together. It elevates the flavor of your pot roast to a whole new level!

CAN I SOUS VIDE FROZEN CHUCK ROAST?

Yes! One of the best aspects of this recipe is that you can cook the roast directly from freezer. The cooking time and instructions are the same as for fresh chuck roast.

HOW TO SERVE SOUS VIDE CHUCK ROAST?

Slice the roast across the grain with a sharp carving knife for serving, about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick pieces. Serve with gravy on the side. Mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, and green beans are some of my favorite side dishes to serve with it.
