I'm thinking of trimming down a chuck roast I bought a couple days ago and cooking it like a steak.
I've done this before outside on the grill (reverse sear method) and liked the way it came out, so wanted to try cooking it inside.

And you?

Chucks a tough cut.
I’d be inclined to velvet it first.

Yeah... but then it would be hard to replicate what came out well the last time I cooked a chuck roast like a steak. I'd be deviating from the entire method. Moving it from a grill to a fry pan is deviation enough.

Maybe for fajitas or stir-fries velveting would work if your chuck comes out tough.

I'm more in the cook it and then slice it thin crowd. Like one would do for a skirt or flank steak.

Fair enough.
 
I was happy with the outcome :)
