The trick to a good chuck roast is, make sure you cover it when you take it off the heat and let it rest for 20 mins. or so and let the Intense heat cool done some, you can cook it for a long time even letting it dry out some in the oven and then add some water to it and cook it dry again, this will give it a rich flavor and is a way to blacken the roast and potato's an old german recipes, just cover it when you take it out before cutting into it and let it cool down some.

When picking out a nice Chuck steak, look for marbleinmg,(streaks of fat through out the meat. I cook mine slow and low 275 derees for 3 hr make sure the meat is fully covered in broth toss is some carrot, celery, onion, potato, black peper, thyme, salt, mushroom,and a couple of bay leaf it will be well done any steak over 140 degrees is well done This method is called brazing

Answer 7

The internal temperature needs to be 145 degrees for 4 minutes. This means you need to hold the thermometer inside the roast for 4 minutes and if the temperature doesn't go down, it is done.



Omg.. some of these answers are ridiculously STUPID. Please don't listen to them, unless you would like to be at risk for a foodborne illness. I just passed my ServSafe exam and I know what I'm doing..

Answer 8

I believe it is 160 degrees F. To keep it from drying out, try cooking it in an oven bag with a can of broth. My husband's family insists it is ok to eat it with a little pink in it, but I want mine done personally. Generally, if you stick a knife in it and the juices run clear, it is done.

145 for medium rare, 160 for medium. :)
