Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Prepare the Meat: Pat your chuck shoulder dry with paper towels for a perfect crust. Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C).
  2. Season Well: Generously sprinkle salt over the roast for enhanced beefiness.
  3. Add Thyme: Place thyme sprigs on and under the meat to layer in flavor subtly.
  4. Render Beef Tallow: Melt beef tallow in your roasting pan until hot and shimmering, ready for that first sear.
  5. Sear the Roast: Brown the chuck shoulder for 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a golden crust and enticing aroma.
  6. Roast Low and Slow: Add remaining thyme to the pan, loosely cover with foil, and roast for 2.5 to 3 hours. Aim for an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C) for tender, fall-apart meat.
  7. Rest Before Serving: Let the roast rest 15-20 minutes after oven time to lock in juices and maximize flavor.

Tips for a Perfect Carnivore Roast

  • Slow and Steady Wins: Patience brings that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
  • Thyme in Moderation: Use thyme sparingly to keep the focus on beef.
  • Embrace Beef Tallow: It’s the magic touch that seals in moisture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions for Your Carnivore Roast
