Note

For best results, use a meat thermometer to check doneness. The internal temperature will rise about 5 degrees during resting.

If you prefer a more savory crust, you can add dried rosemary or thyme to the garlic rub.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or use in sandwiches.

Chuck roast is a tougher cut that benefits from slow, low-temperature cooking. Do not rush the process.
