Sous Vide Grass Fed Shredded Beef Chuck Roast

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Did you know that Sous Vide Beef Chuck Roast is the perfect hack for making this typically stringy cut of meat tender and delicious? Read below on how I make it!

Chuck roast isn’t normally my favorite cut because it can get powdery and stringy by the time it finally tenderizes. Enter the magical water oven to the rescue! I’ve found that with a little bit of seasoning and a long soak in the SousVide Supreme, you can get a big pile of tender and moist shredded beef with almost no work at all. To make it even fancier, you can toss the beef with your favorite Paleo-friendly jarred marinara sauce and you’ve got a dish that will please your whole cave.

Time to make Sous Vide Grass Fed Shredded Beef Chuck Roast!

Serves 6 – 8

Ingredients:

  • 3.5 lb grass fed chuck roast, tied
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of ghee or fat of choice
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced thin
  • 12-24 ounces of your favorite marinara sauce (I like Rao’s and Lidia’s)

Equipment:

  • All of my recommended kitchen tools are listed here.
