Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 pound) blade chuck roast
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, finely grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 ½ cups water
2 teaspoons beef base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
½ teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce (such as Bragg®)
¼ teaspoon garlic granules

Steps:

  • Place a heat-resistant pad underneath a large pot filled with warm water. Attach a sous vide precision cooker to the pot and set temperature to 135 degrees F (57°C). Set the timer to 24 hours.
  • Remove all surface fat and silver skin from the roast. Truss the roast and generously season with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Place the roast in a large resealable bag and remove all the air with a vacuum sealer. Place bag in the pot once the right temperature is reached, making sure it is completely submerged. Cover pot with plastic wrap to ensure the water doesn't evaporate.
  • Combine olive oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, thyme, and parsley in a small bowl 1 hour before the timer goes off.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) 20 minutes before the timer goes off. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the bag from the pot and transfer to a plate. Remove roast and pat dry using paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Place the roast on the prepared baking sheet and cover with olive oil mixture.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • While the roast is in the oven, combine water, beef base, soy sauce, and garlic granules in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a soft boil, then reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is reduced, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove roast from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice roast and place on a platter. Drizzle au jus on top or serve sauce separately.
