Dry Aged Chuck Roast for Sale | Wilson Farm Meats

At Wilson Farm Meats, we’ve been a proud part of the Elkhorn community since the 1870s, providing top-quality, locally sourced meats for generations. Our farm-raised pork products have won awards, but today, we’re spotlighting one of our standout beef cuts: dry aged chuck roast. If you’re ready to dive into a truly flavorful and tender cut of meat, stick around as we take you through a step-by-step guide to cooking the perfect dry aged chuck roast.

So, what makes dry aged chuck roast so special? This flavorful cut of beef goes through a process called dry aging, where it is hung in a controlled environment for several weeks. During this time, the meat naturally breaks down, intensifying its flavor and tenderness. If you’ve ever wanted to elevate your home cooking game with restaurant-quality beef, this is the cut for you!

The beauty of dry aged chuck roast is its versatility. It’s fantastic for braising, slow cooking, or making hearty stews. Its rich, concentrated flavors develop further with slow cooking, making it the ultimate comfort food.

To create this unforgettable dish, here’s what you’ll need:

• 4 lbs dry aged chuck roast from Wilson Farm Meats
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 cups beef broth (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 cup red wine (something you’d drink!)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 bay leaves

This list of ingredients might seem basic, but when paired with the richness of dry aged beef, they create a symphony of flavors!

Step 1: Preparing the Chuck Roast

Before you start cooking, take the chuck roast out of the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow it to come to room temperature. Trust us, this makes all the difference!

1. Season the Roast: Generously rub salt and pepper all over the roast. Don’t be shy—this is your flavor foundation.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Sear the Chuck Roast: Place the roast into the pot and sear it on all sides for 8-10 minutes. You’re looking for a deep brown crust that will lock in those juices.

Once you’ve achieved a beautiful sear, remove the roast from the pot and set it aside. Now we get to the good stuff!

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Sautéing the Vegetables

Using the same Dutch oven, add your chopped onions. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. This adds a sweet base flavor to your braise.

1. Add the Garlic and Veggies: Toss in your minced garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté for another 5 minutes until the veggies soften and their flavors blend together.
2. Deglaze with Wine: Here’s where the magic happens. Pour in your red wine, and while it sizzles, scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce and concentrate.

Step 2: Adding the Broth and Tomato Paste

1. Beef Broth: Add in the beef broth, stirring it into the reduced wine.
2. Tomato Paste: This will thicken the braise slightly and add depth to the dish. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 3: Braising the Dry Aged Chuck Roast

Now for the most crucial part of the process:

1. Return the Roast to the Pot: Nestle your seared dry aged chuck roast back into the Dutch oven.
2. Herb Time: Add in your sprigs of thyme, rosemary, and the bay leaves for extra aromatics.
3. Braise: Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to a preheated 325°F oven. Let it braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.

Serving Suggestions

When it’s done, the dry aged chuck roast will practically melt in your mouth! Here are some creative ways to serve this delicious meal:

• With Creamy Mashed Potatoes: A true comfort food pairing. The rich gravy from the roast over mashed potatoes will make any meal feel like a celebration.
• With Polenta: The smooth texture of polenta contrasts beautifully with the rich, slow-cooked meat.
