You forgot to mention that chuck is one of the cheapest cuts of beef. I love it, because I honed my cooking skills on this. I couldn't afford better. Slice that roast in half, and you have chuck steaks. Grill it, roast it, Dutch oven it, slow cooker it, cut it into cubes and make stew out of it, grind it, anything. You are right. It is the most versatile cut of beef there is. However, it's easy to ruin it and turn it into inedible leather, too. Thanks for showing love to this lowly cut.
Chuck roast here in the State we normally cook it in a dutch oven pot with potatoes and onions for 4 to 5 hours at a relative low temp so it is tender and juicy. Add a little red wind at the start with some plain flour sprinkled over the seared chunks then add water to almost cover the meat. Put it in the oven at 12 noon and remove it at 4:30pm. Good, good, goooooooooo!
It has an excellent beef taste for sure, very good, if you have never tried a chuck eye steak, try it, it is also very very beefy, and very tender also. Chuck eye steaks are under appreciated in my opinion. The taste and tenderness are only bested by a very good rib-eye.
OMG - burnt ends are my absolute crack-head favorite if I can use that term. When I turn my back after smoking the ribs, chickens, ham, brisket and all...if I can just get a bit of some burnt ends, I giggle in guilt. Sick obsession. I am going to do this. Thank you A R Johnson.
I love chuck roast and believe it's a highly underrated cut of meat. It might not be as good as a ribeye when cooked like a steak, but I still enjoy it very much and would gladly eat it any day of the week. Having said that I would never put a ribeye in a stew or turn it into a roast, so for me I always look for the cheaper cut and turn it into something delicious.
Goodness, when you put that roast over the veggies and put it back on the grill, my mouth instantly started watering. I bet the combination of both together was amazing. Excellent video!
Great idea. I just purchased a smoker a few months ago and have started smoking different cuts of beef and having fun with it and my stomach has been enjoying it.
That's cool, I've been cooking chuck roast for the past 4 months because my local supermarket keeps putting it on sale. My first try was searing and then slow cook in a crock-pot for 8 hours, it was like butter and the second time was in my smoker for 8 hours and it had a great crust and wonderful smokeyness like a brisket. I also have cut the roast up into thin strips and turn it in to jerky in the smoker, that takes about 4 hours. It really is versatile.
I am now marinating my chuck roast in beer, rosemary, sage , salt and pepper. Have it sitting in my regular electrical oven. It's just sitting there, bathing and absorbing flavors. Will leave it there for about 4 hours at ambient temperature. When I'm ready, I'll drain the juices and put some celery pieces and begin roasting. Half way will throw in diced potatoes, mushrooms and sliced green and red peppers.
I recently salted and dried a piece of chuck, it was the best cured meat I ever had!! I salted for about 2 days and then dried it for 2-3 weeks. It was super beefy, a bit too beefy for other people, but I couldn't get enough.
i smoked a 3 pound chuck roast last week. in a masterbuilt electric smoker used kingfords pruimem blend wood ships oak hickory apple woods. turned out great and very tender.
In Australia... we call the chuck roast a “poor mans brisket”... and to be honest this does a disservice to such a great cut. I suspect this is due to the Texan BBQ influence all over the world now... but if you ask a real butcher here in Aus, who supplies all cuts for low and slow.. they will tell you this cut, the chuck roast is the bomb! 👍👍👍
Been cooking brisket for ten years now. Felt as if I had mastered my craft, but a brisket for me is a lot of effort. Managing the fire, maintaining temp, staying up for hours,etc. etc. Wife brought a roast home one day and I decided to mimic my brisket recipe and we both loved it! It took far less time and effort as well.
This is my favorite episode because I did not expect this at all! I always sear mine as a steak on a pan because I'm super lazy. But I will try the slow roast super soon! This cut of meat is very cheap in my area, which is why it's my go to lol. Also, I love when you give your cameraman a chance to taste the food too. I'd go crazy being there not getting a chance to bite... lol.
Love smoking chuck roasts! I've heard them called the Poor Man's Brisket. I love them because they are just as forgiving temperature wise as a pork butt which means less chance to mess it up!
I love bbq'ing chuck roast. I like low and slow on my Traeger and cook at 250° F/125°C until temps hit about 160°F/70°C (mostly about 3-5 hours depending on how thick the roast is) then wrap in foil until the roast is probe tender (205°F/96°C). Mostly this is about 7-9 hours total cooking time. My "rub" is very simple. 16 mesh pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika. lekker lekker lekker - Smaklijk eten.
Thanks for the interesting experiment. I've cooked hundreds of Chuck roasts but I've never roasted one to 125F as they typically get braised or low/slow till all the collagen is gelatinized. I guess even us old hounds can learn something new! Thanks for the video.
Best roast ever. I love it so much. I slice almost through in two directions on both sides stuff with butter garlic , onions, green bell pepper after dry rub on both sides put a little water in bottom bake at 350 for about four hours covered tightly with foil. Super tender and sooooo flavorful ! It’s very expensive here in Washington State at Safeway grocery store, wort every penny though and then some.
Just did several smoked chuck roasts for Christmas. I threw some onions on top and bottom of roast when I wrapped it then cooked to 210 degrees. Was a hit with everyone.
Hey Roel, Heres one you need to try with that chuck roast, season it how you like... (I use Salt, Pepper, Onion powder, & Garlic powder) wrap it in the paper twice (2) then cook at 250 degrees for two hours per lb. let rest 20 minutes unwrap and enjoy... its perfect every time...
I make pot roast. I sear it on all sides then in the oven low and slow with veggies. I also have made barbacoa for tacos again sear low and slow with spices no veggies just peppers.
I've just begun experimenting with chuck roast bbq. Low and slow is the way to go! Aaaand I've liked the roasted as well but I'm sucker for bbq (smoked low and slow with a marinade in most cases.). --------- I'm subscribing.
I do miss this set. Always loved seeing the wood burning stove. The brick wall. The wood beams. And the lighting was always great. Oh, and I'll be doing one of these roasts real soon!
So, I've done the low and slow version of chuckies many times. But I've never done the hot and fast version. HOLY CRAP! This was a major party in my mouth! UNBELIEVABLE! I used a vidalia onion instead of a purple onion. Everything else was exactly the same. SWEET and savory. Freaking amazing. BAM!
The cuts of meat that make up a chuck roast (chuck, chuck eye and flat iron) are all really versatile. I always look under the meat counter for especially good looking roasts and I trim them up and cook them as steaks and grind the leftover trim into hamburger.
I have done a smoked chuck before. Loved it. I actually used the leftovers of it and put it in chili. Now I'm interested in the roast method. Might try that out.
I agree with your point of we do everything but roast a chuck roast because I have never roasted a chuck roast! I have used it for a pot roast, and it was excellent. I have used it to make beef tips in the pressure cooker, and it was excellent, I could taste the strong beef taste over the excellent brown gravy that I slather my beef tips in, but I have never roasted it.
Thanks for the video, I smoked a Chuck yesterday and was really happy with the results, it tasted just like a really nice brisket, I left it unwrapped and I pulled at 185 F after about 5 hours, including about an hour and a half stalled at around 170 F. it got a great dark bark on the outside and have a very thick pink smoke ring throughout the roast. The look of the meat reminded me of a ribeye and that got me thinking it would actually be good if it were cooked like a thick juicy ribeye so I would like to try that. But next time i'm in the mood for BBQ and I don't have an army of people to feed I am just going to BBQ a chuck roast.
Growing up on a beef ranch, I always looked at Chuck as more of a sub-par sirloin, and had it cut as such. You get some pretty good steak out of the chuck if you have it cut 1" instead of the typical 2" Roast. I have always just seared and sliced it whether steak or Roast. I came to this video to see if I was doing the right thing. It seems like my original feeling on beef chuck was correct, it is a very versatile cut that stands up to being prepared many different ways.
Nice! I ve always treated that as a steak, either in the pan or on the flame. My dad sent me a picture few days ago of a australian wagyu chuck roast, it looked amazing and he roasted it as a steak in the fireplace. It was rear but he told that it was super tender even if he likes it rear, almost raw
The Chuck is right next to the Rib (Rib Roast). I grew up in a butcher shop. I cut off steaks off the end of the Chuck many times, flame grilled them on a skewer over an open flame.
Here in the USA we use actual Chuck Roasts (not the ones that look like chuck steaks, but the ones called "Eye of Chuck roasts". They are more expensive and way more delicious...and we POT ROAST them....long and slow in some liquid...with veggies...OH BOY!
I’m always curious about the people who do cooking related video blogs. Today you showed something that told me you have spent many many hours with a large sharp knife in your hand at a cutting board and it made me smile with recognition. While slicing that delicious chuck roast I saw your index finger sneak over the blade quick as a snake and hold the slice for a fraction of a second then retreat then do it again and it was all being done with muscle memory automatically. I don’t think you even knew you were doing it ! Put a knife in a cooks hand for 5 minutes and it will tell you more than any resume’.Another big fat giveaway about your professional history is your reverence and respect in handling the food, especially the raw fresh things. You can tell a lot by the way a cook touches the food and you can taste that care in the final product. Your third “tell” is your preference for food cooked for flavor and a pleasing attractive appearance and NOT towards a fancy or trendy presentation. And lastly, thank you for always remembering that the video is always about the food and not the cook.The food is always the star of the show.
Nice video. I did my own video a while back called something like "Chuck Roast: The Brisket Alternative" after brisket prices went through the roof. It IS indeed a good alternative to brisket.
Can’t go wrong with chuck roast , my favorite go to inexpensive cut of meat. I pan sear it in butter flip and repeat and put the skillet with the meat in a 300 degree grill and close the lid. Evrytime I flip and baste I check the internal to 140. I take it out of the pan and let it rest. So tender. Just salt and pepper.
Ahh yes chuck roast the unknown hero of meat low and slow that's the only way to cook it , one of my favorite cuts ,for flavor and tenderness good presentation .
Chuck roast is so versatile. I cooked a faux prime rib with one Sunday. I used the sous vide and cooked the roast a 131° for 48 hrs. It was amazing. I'd like to smoke a little first next time, then to the bath. Do you sous vide any?
Sear under broiler or in cast iron pan then cook in pressure cooker with a little beef broth & red wine and seasonings. Super tender and fast. Make sauce or gravy from the drippings.
@8:04 it actually resembles a brisket, I might have to try this. Us southerners "Georgia USA"have always done them in a Crock pot "Slow Cooker" till it falls apart actually, or a cast iron dutch oven, still slow, Veggies and all in one pop. Never thought of putting one on the smoker actually, and I have just the smoker to do it on hahahaa. Thanks for the Idea.... keep up the good work !!!!
I've been doing the research on smoking a chuck.I'm going to cold smoke some cheeses that I'm gonna use in a lasagna.I'm going to be busy, or should I say the smoker is going to be busy.
Thank you for the video i'll have to visit my butcher for acouple of chuck roasts, not really a great fan of roast beef BBQ beef a whole different matter. One thing you may like to try, after finishing the main cook my bbq is still putting out alot of heat from the left over charcoal, I like to put foil wrapped vegetables carrot, onions and garlic etc on the grate for some slow roasted goodness. Left over meat and vegetables make for a wicked stew. take care God bless.
Mate I may sound crazy but instead of seasoning with just salt and pepper use a hot and spicy BBQ rub with salt cook in low and slow and try with sour sauce Best chilly pepper you can use 1.cayane or 2.habenaro
250 for 2 hours minimum for chuck roast, then kick up to 300 for more crust and 400 at end to get bark. I used to roast them 350 but came out too chewy. Love slow cooked! Eating it now :)
I’m actually cooking one as I type using Souvs vide for 24hrs then put it on the grill for a sear. This is my first try at it so I hope it’s as good as I hear. Fingers crossed.
So what you are saying... Both for Christmas? I do them in a crockpot and make gravy with the broth and have it pulled with mashed potatoes anf that gravy, but I would not have expected it to turn out well cooked higher and faster. Nice cook sir!

I got a jaccard tenderizer and went to town. 6 minutes in each side and it was as tender as a rib eye. Try this
Brisket is cheaper.

kevin kelley because they are more affordable, they are a great steak for learning all the different techniques and methods for cooking a good steak.
Chuck Roast is actually my favorite cut of meat. I have been smoking it for a long time now. It also makes awesome burnt ends.
What temperature do you smoke it?
Alf Pedersen 225 F

LMAO -- Chuck and Briskets are my two favorite cuts, I like the price and I like the nourishment.

You sly dog lol

A roast. Is a roast. Is a roast. Iconic.

Video Quality is really picking up Roel! Nice music, nice camera angles, really enjoyable to watch!
Thanks Vincent.. we are pushing to make the best vids we can
Don't need teef to eat my beef...
😂😂😂😂
I've been doing the research on smoking a chuck.I'm going to cold smoke some cheeses that I'm gonna use in a lasagna.I'm going to be busy, or should I say the smoker is going to be busy.
Thanks for sharing. I love cooking chuck roast. It really is the swiss army knife of meats.
En wij alleen maar hachee ermee maken... Think again!😂😂 super gaaf weer Roel!
Hahaha.. ja schande 😂😂😂
I get it. By roasting low and slow, we get the roast to where it's not super tender, but tender like a steak. Sounds great.
I have always wondered what if I smoked a roast like a brisket - can't believe I haven't tried this. Great job as always on your vids!
Thank you for the video i'll have to visit my butcher for acouple of chuck roasts, not really a great fan of roast beef BBQ beef a whole different matter. One thing you may like to try, after finishing the main cook my bbq is still putting out alot of heat from the left over charcoal, I like to put foil wrapped vegetables carrot, onions and garlic etc on the grate for some slow roasted goodness. Left over meat and vegetables make for a wicked stew. take care God bless.
Long time no comment from me...sorry 🤓 I really like this comparison....
You really make me hungry and for sure jealous... go on like this...👍
Thank you for the well documented comparison... and... roast would have been my choice as well.
IMO a well-done chuck roast is just as tasty as a brisket.
Loved the video. Smoked or roasted chuck is tender and juicy low and slow. Thank you for the post. Blessings from Colorado, USA.
Mate I may sound crazy but instead of seasoning with just salt and pepper use a hot and spicy BBQ rub with salt cook in low and slow and try with sour sauce
Best chilly pepper you can use
1.cayane or
2.habenaro
Thanks for the suggestion Alan
250 for 2 hours minimum for chuck roast, then kick up to 300 for more crust and 400 at end to get bark. I used to roast them 350 but came out too chewy. Love slow cooked! Eating it now :)
I’m actually cooking one as I type using Souvs vide for 24hrs then put it on the grill for a sear. This is my first try at it so I hope it’s as good as I hear. Fingers crossed.
Loving this video from Kathmandu today! I must say that “BYOB” has taken on a new meaning...”Beef Your Own Brisket”....👍😜
hahahahahha awesome.. keep it real in Kathmandu!! ;)
Shh don’t tell my wife I’m secretly in love with this guy 😁
chuck roast - nice and cheap and so versatile
So what you are saying... Both for Christmas? I do them in a crockpot and make gravy with the broth and have it pulled with mashed potatoes anf that gravy, but I would not have expected it to turn out well cooked higher and faster. Nice cook sir!
Well… I know what I’ll be cooking this weekend! Thanks so much for this chuck recipe!
Try Pulled Chuckies, they’re fantastic! Smoke until 203-205f shred, add BBQ sauce. Simply amazing!
