Report from the Carnivore trenches. I’ve eaten nothing but chuck roast since Jan 1. Here's why. Prep is low fuss and I have it down. It’s affordable (around $6.39 a pound at Costco). The ultra simplicity keeps food focus at bay. I like it reheated or cold so it works well on the go. I’m not bored because it’s so satisfying with the fat content and the crispy bits from my cooking method (along with some salt and butter or tallow). It feels like winning.

What’s your report from the trenches and what food do you put on repeat with carnivore?

Cooking method for chuck roast: Prepare a dutch oven by turning stovetop to medium low with a spoon or two of tallow or butter. Add chuck roast when the fat is melted. Add about a cup of water, tops and cover. Cook several hours with occasional checks to see if it has a gentle bubble or soft rolling boil to its cooking. It’s done when you hear the sizzle meaning the fat has been released. You can cook it a bit longer at this point, turning it over to brown the other side in the wonderful fat. This gives nice texture. Since the meat is so tender I like to shred it with knife and fork while it’s still in the pan and this also exposes more of the beef to the melted fat. Salt and put away, pouring the melted fat over the top.

just lifted the lid on my latest batch👍

Can you pan fry or grill that and get a decent final product just like a steak?

I've never been sure since I always assumed the "roast" part meant you're supposed to cook it differently

I'd say it's too thick to pan fry like a steak, but it cooks nicely in a covered pan over a few hours and then you can brown it at the end. Shred it with a fork and knife and you're set
