Since that’s from Aldi you will need to go 133-137 for at least 32 hours but 40-48 hours would be better
I have stopped buying beef from them because it’s always massively tougher than the same cut from elsewhere

I did this recipe a few years ago and it was great!!
In a crock pot with onions, potatoes, and carrots.

My preference for chuck roast is 42 – 48hrs for tenderness, and 135 – 137* for fat rendering.
There’s plenty of ppl claiming 24 – 36hrs is enough, but when I’ve tried the result was chewy meat.

Carne Guisada. Or any Mexican beef stew recipe.

I really find this is best braised low and slow rather than sous vide. To each their own though.

155 @ 36 hours for traditional braised texture is excellent.

Cut into chunks and pressure cooked for an hour with your choice of seasonings……

Turn it into a Charles Roast. 136F for 36 hours, then dry and sear

They call it chuck roast cuz you just chuck it in the oven

Interesting how many suggestions of different ways to SV this. From Sir Charles to traditional pot roast. Wondering if anyone has tried SVing in Italian style tomato sauce?

Put it in a crock pot for several hours with a whole jar of pepperoncinis an onion and beef stock.

Funny you should ask, I just cooked one this afternoon. This recipe from Serious Eats (https://www.seriouseats.com/perfect-pot-roast-recipe-pioneer-woman) slams. My variation – added 5 whole cloves of garlic and a bay leaf to the dutch. Once cooked, a roux with 2 Tlbs butter, 2 Tlbs flour and about 2 cups liquid from the dutch made a solid gravy.
I know it’s not sous vide which I am a fan of for many things, but braising is also a great tool to soften tough cuts.

Pat dry, sear all sides salt and place in crock pot on low for 12 hours I start this at 5pm for a 5am feast. I add a stick of butter to the pot and use an immersion blender to make a “gravy”.
I haven’t sous vide a chuck roast before but I’ll try anything once.
