Ingredients
  

  • 3.5 pounds beef chuck roast
  • Diamond Crystal kosher salt kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ghee or fat of choice
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced thin
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Skillet
  • Frying Pan
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Start by seasoning the beef chuck roast liberally with kosher salt and black pepper. Be generous, ensuring that every side is coated thoroughly. This is where you set the flavor foundation for your roast.
  2. Next, vacuum seal the seasoned roast. Make sure it’s tightly sealed to keep the juices in. This is crucial for the sous vide process, as it prevents water from getting in and dilutes the flavor.
  3. Fill your sous vide container with water and set the temperature to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it’s ready, dunk the sealed roast into the water bath. The magic begins here, with the roast cooking for a full 24 to 36 hours. This slow cooking method ensures the beef becomes incredibly tender.
  4. After the cooking time has elapsed, carefully remove the roast from the water bath. It’s hot, so use tongs or a towel to handle it. Pat the roast dry with paper towels to prepare it for shredding.
  5. Now, melt the ghee in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the ghee is melted and shimmering, add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the pan.
  6. Sauté the mushrooms until they’re tender and the liquid has evaporated, which should take about six to eight minutes. Season them with a bit of kosher salt and black pepper to enhance their flavor.
  7. Pour in your favorite marinara sauce and bring it to a simmer. The amount you add depends on how saucy you like your beef, so feel free to adjust to your preference.
  8. Finally, toss in the shredded chuck roast. Gently mix it with the sauce and let it sit for a few minutes to absorb those delicious flavors.
  9. Now you’re ready to dig in! Serve the Sous Vide Grass Fed Shredded Beef Chuck Roast with your choice of sides, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
