I broke down a chuck roast into a Denver steak and two what I believe are chuckeye steaks. I’m wondering if 12hours at 132 is too long??

    I don’t think so. Obviously not the exact same cook, but I do whole chucks for 24-48hrs

    Probably depends what you’re going for? I did sous vide everything’s birria 24hrs @185 and it turned out great. So no, you aren’t going too long. But if you’re wanting something more steak-y my gut says that is probably too long.

    Also, you could research for us! I’d be interested in the outcome if you do.

    Time does not matter, temp matters. I did a 24 hours prime rib but shit happened and it went 37 hours. Didn’t change anything. go with a lower number, like 131 for steak, sear it well when removed and your good.

    Yes that’s too long if it’s steak. All the moisture will get pulled out.

    I do chuck steaks for 24 hours. Comes out like rib eyes. I haven’t tried 12 hours, but I’ve seen recipes for this so it’s probably alright.

    Yes, but that’s subjective. You might discover the best steaks you’ve ever had.

    I am very curious on how this turns out

  9. Uh I would do those for maybe 2-3 hours at 125

    I think you’ll be fine. It may be a bit more roast-y than steak-y. But should still be tasty

    Nope works great! Give it a try at least once for yourself

    I’ve did 1” ribeyes for 15 hours at 130, with a good sear they’ve always came out perfect

    lowkey I don’t think it is too long. in my experience, if it becomes “too tender” that usually means the steak was already from a very tender cow. I’d go for it for the novelty of it, because I know it will be very tasty nonetheless

    I do strip steaks at 132F for 2 hours and they come out perfect. 12 hours sounds excessive to me and I would worry that the meat gets mushy…
