I have a 3 pound chuck roast

My wife bought. should I make a couple of different meals? smoke it? Stew? I need ideas. not a huge fan of pot roast.

Stew with about half of it and freeze the other half for stew later....

I bought one last week while it was on sale at HEB, froze it and plan to use it for chili. I have my own grinder.

Sous vide it at 135° for 29 hours to get a medium rare finish. I have done it before and its shockingly pretty damn good.

Season with salt and pepper, sear in skillet then put in baking dish with some water and bake at 350 for 2 hours add. sliced potatoes onion and some baby carrots and bake for another hour put a pack of lipton soup mix on top of it and bake another 30 min then pul/shred/cut and serve.

If you don't like it your a vegetarian.

This.

Or smoke it. I've had great luck with smoking them.

do you smoke it like a brisket?

Half for a pot of stew and the other half for a pot of chili. Cube it to about 1/2" square chunks for both, brown and season with salt and pepper, garlic etc., then bag and freeze until ready to cook it.

Cube it, put it on a tray and in the freezer till really firm. Straight to the grinder for chilly or hamburger.

Put it in a slow cooker, salt, pepper, chiles, and garlic and make barbacoa. Great soft tacos.

My wife and I were just talking out that this morning. Good choice!

Yes sir. Just like a brisket. Surprised at how food they turn out.

This is the best chuck roast recipe to be found.

Trust me on this one: 1 can beef broth, one jar of peppercinnis, one ranch packet, one stick of butter. Cook until fall apart tender, pull meat out and shred it with a fork, and let it simmer in its own juice for a while.

This is awesome. We cook roast like that and the street tacos are awesome. We also add i packet of McCormick Aus jous to it. Mississippi Roast

Be sure and post pics of whatever you make

will do. looking like barbacoa is what I'm going to make next week.
