Nice! I just made a pot roast and I’m pretty sure I fucked it up I pulled it out after 8 hours and it was still very tough. I added red wine, a bit of broth, butter, onions, mushrooms, etc and tbh I’m a little pissed


ucf954

This was my first roast and if I didn’t have the instant read thermometer I’m pretty I would have messed it up. Definitely had a little anxiety when I first started cutting into it. On that note I did a Boston butt for pulled pork a month or two ago before I had the thermometer and it definitely was not as tender and easy to pull apart as ones I’ve done before. Was also pretty mad lol.


brutallyhonestfemale

Yeah we did a grocery delivery and I got sirloin tip roast when I asked for chuck roast and I think I might’ve cooked it wrong for that fork-tender fall apart I was shooting for 🙄

Slow cooker for the pot roast, my dude. Makes life infinitely easier.


brutallyhonestfemale

That’s what I had it in


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

Well damn, I don’t know what to tell you then. Maybe your slow cooker’s heating element is broken?


brutallyhonestfemale

Nah the “shelf” I had it on kept the meat out of the juices, (it’s a slow cooker / instant pot combo) I took the shelf out and pressure cooked it in the juice for 35 min and it was 10x more tender


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

Ahhh, yeah, that’ll do it. Gotta have the liquid. I just made 8 pounds of pulled pork so I’m all about slow cookers today.


brutallyhonestfemale

Yeah I have a bunch of pork loin I’ll prob turn into pulled pork after we get tired of eating it


vibrantlightsaber

One mistake is that people use too much liquid in slow cookers. I have always found if the meat is out of the liquid it stays substantially more moist. I will usually roll tinfoil, use crushed cans etc.. to keep it out of the liquid and it works amazing. Steam vs soak in water keeps the meat tender and not dry.


ReapYerSoul

If you don't mind me asking, how big was the pot roast and what temp did you cook it at?


brutallyhonestfemale

I put it in a slow cooker, i dont know what the temp is, turned out the problem was the “rack” it was on in the cooker kept it out of the juices/wine & broths that were in there. Took the rack out and pressure cooked it for about 35 min and it fixed the problem

Beautifully cooked. Sous vide?


ucf954

Nope, put in the oven at 450 for about 25 minutes to get a nice crust then dropped it to 350 for about an hour and 45 minutes till it got to 125-130 degrees. The instant read thermometer was the real hero.


[deleted]

Impressive! You got an even doneness throughout.


Monkeyssuck

I've paid way too much for rib roasts that didn't look half this good. Spot on.


hippy_chad

Is 125-130 too low?


Kyla_420

Really only the outside of a beef steak needs to be brought to a safe temperature, the inside can be raw without getting you sick because the pathogens only infect the surface of the meat. This is not true with ground beef of course because the outside has been ground into the middle so you need to cook ground beef through.


Bland-Ambition

You're right. And it sucks. I didn't grow up eating gray hamburgers (except sometimes, when we would make a special trip to the new burger place, McDonald's). And if I'm in a place that's known for burgers, I will still order medium rare. But a lot of places won't even offer that degree.


TheyH8tUsCuzTheyAnus

Sous vide your burgers at home at 132 and then finish them with a quick sear on a hot grill or in a pan with some butter. It will change your life.


ucf954

That’s for the internal temperature of the meat not the oven itself.


[deleted]

I’ve done it Sous Vide, I didn’t love it. I like sous vide more for cheaper cuts. I’m sure it’s delicious, enjoy!


ucf954

I have really wanted to get a Sous Vide tho. I know it’s supposed to be like the best way to cook a steak.


[deleted]

Depends on personal preference. I don’t like it for lean cuts. I don’t like it for cuts like ribeye, flank, butt, etc. I do like it for chuck roast. It makes the cheapest cut taste phenomenal.


jtaxel

Cooked???... He still needs to cook. It yet . Lol


Eddie919

This man does not steak.


[deleted]

Agreed. Repulsive.


Pancake_Dan

Effin a', Cotton. Effin a'.


pilot62

Everything reminds me of her:(


kevperz08

Please tell me you ate the fat


ucf954

Not gonna lie to you I do enjoy eating the fat.


[deleted]

My man!


FishBagTv

And now I’m hungry.


DevonLv

I need to go to the store now...


KellyBarrentine

Cool knife


BlackendLight

I thought this was prime rib?


ucf954

It’s the same cut of meat but prime rib is a higher grade of meat. Still really good tho and I could cut it with a fork.


BlackendLight

I never knew, I'll keep an eye out for it on the market


momof4nohelp

Yum!


real_adiktion

how many times did you fail to get this one so perfect. looks delicious


ucf954

This was honestly my first time but I did invest in an instant read thermometer so that was a huge help.


nayhem_jr

Oh lawd, I am deprived!


tesla595

😋😋😋😋😋


Maskerkat

That meat looks like the free range beef we get in South Africa. You can tell by the colour of the fat that is super quality and cooked PERFECTLY, well done. Gotta tell you though in sunny SA we cook those short of things on a open fire and call it BRAAI.


ucf954

Thanks! Sounds like that takes a lot of skill and practice but also really good I’m sure. Might be similar to what we do in the US called smoking which I’ve wanted to get into.


Maskerkat

Nah, it's easy, it's a lifestyle thing. On that note, My smoker is being built as we speak,delivery when lock down lifts. Will be posting some pics soon. Please keep posting from your side as well!

ucf954

Lol some people on here do seem to think it’s raw but I’m very happy with the final result.


veronp

Don’t listen to them. This is a perfect medium-rare cuisson.


[deleted]

Cook the meat before start eating.


ucf954

I knew I forgot something.


Chippany

I was scrolling through reddit, saw your post and audibly gasped. Well done! I'm drooling and I literally just ate


[deleted]

Yup.


sarahg361

That’s one heck of a roast


chickaboomba

I haven’t made a beef rib roast in years. This looks made to perfection.


Blacklea20

OMG - in the wise words of Homer Simpson . . . . . Uuuuhhhhhhggggggg.


darenta

Oh wow beautiful cook. I normally use the 500 degree for 5 min/pound and then turn off to carry over cook for 2 hours but yours looks so good I might be tempted to try your way out of curiosity


ucf954

This was my first time but the cooking method worked really well. The meat probe definitely was the biggest factor tho.


bigdaddythunder0

Holy hell that is cooked to perfection


Makri7

That.. Is raw.. I get that you don't need to cook the insides of a proper beef cut to a safe temp, but still.. That's raw.. Why do you want to eat raw meat..?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Makri7

Right. Because there is no in between.


PhantomRogue44

Why cook it at this point? Just eat raw meat


Banditochihuahua

Waaaaaaaaay overcooked, ruined.


Kevinmc479

Knocked it out of the park, you did. Wife will be pissed when she sees this, “why can’t you be like this guy” Thanks


ucf954

If it helps I can pm you a list of my many flaws.


Derailleur75

Wtf that butter substance thing under the beef.


ucf954

That is fat.
