Stretch your dollar

โ€‹SOUS VIDE CHUCK STEAKโ€‹

Sharp Tip:

The whole chuck is the shoulder area of the animal and has a lot of cuts located in it. A roast needs low and slow heat (perfect for a long smoke), but a chuck eye steak is perfect for a hot and fast sear, just like a ribeye (and we'd argue, better flavor).

โณ WEEKEND PROJECT

Smoked chuck roast

Buy the whole chuck roast, smoke it low and slow on Sunday, and eat off it four ways through the week: shredded into tacos, folded into mac and cheese, smothering a power bowl, piled on an open-faced sandwich with fontina. Under twenty dollars turns into a week of dinners, and right now we'll take that win.
