Chuck roast is 3 days past sell by. It’s still firm and no oxidation and it’s not slimy, but it has a mild mac & cheese like scent? Is it still good?

Looks fine. Cook it up.
A little scent is ok. You won’t smell it after seasoning and cooking
You’re ok.
Sell by is not use by. It’s good for a week after sell by date
I would still use it but I routinely age beef so take whatever I say as a personal preference.. I would do the following: Rinse the beef thoroughly to get the surface crap off, then dry it thoroughly. Salt liberally front, back, and sides and leave in the fridge for a few hours. There will be some moisture on the plate so dry again and proceed with the recipe. The odor should disappear after this process.
Cook it and eat it.
You should be ok. I see a couple questionable spots but you could always cut them out.

I always thought it smelled like butter, but I can agree with cheese, as well. That’s when it’s gonna be the best, imo.
I wouldn’t but I’m very risk adverse
As long as it doesn’t smell like farts you’re good.
Still good homie
I dry age meat in my fridge for weeks at a time all the time.
3 days is basically nothing.
You already vape so your body is probably used to dogshit
Fine.
I wouldn’t pay full price!
I would wash it in cold water and vinegar first, then as long as there are no signs of spoilage use it accordingly
It’s in its ‘Prime.’
You got some awesome beef right there. Only 1 in 10 angus cattle make it into the Certified Angus Beef Prime program. I am a CAB specialist for my company. We routinely wet age ribeyes for at least 21 days but up to 60 (we age at 29 degrees, at the warehouse). Good stuff!
Go off of nose and touch more than dates.
It’s good. Freeze it if you don’t eat it asap.
