    Boneless chuck roast is the cut of beef that will yield the BEST texture and flavor due to the marbling and we all know that fat equals flavor! The low temperature with the extended cooking time will give the meat the optimal conditions so have the connective tissue break down, tenderizing the meat, giving you melt-in-your-mouth pot roast.

    If you can't find boneless chuck roast at your butcher, bottom round, rump roast, shoulder roast or a chuck roast could be substituted.  But do your best to use a boneless chuck roast should be used when making Mississippi Pot Roast.

    Why is the chuck roast seared before bagging?

    By pre-searing the chuck roast before bagging it up for the cook, the surface of the meat will take on a beautiful color, add a depth of flavor and that flavor will continue to permeate the meat as it sous vide. It is not a necessary step but I find it makes a beautiful presentation and adds another layer of flavor to this amazing recipe.

    Why is sous vide cooking best for Mississippi pot roast?

    The beauty of sous vide cooking large cuts of meats is that not only is the meat the same doneness from edge to edge (including the center!) but the meat will be the most tender you have ever had. The meat is in full contact on every surface with the juices and flavors instead of just the bottom as with other roasting and crock pot methods. The low temperature along with the extended time will make the pot roast the best it can be.
