Beef Roast question
 

Karen, Alton Brown (TV cook guy) claims that the connective tissue in roasts will dissolve into gelatin with very low temperature cooking. He has you use a beef chuck roast wrapped in foil at the lowest heat your oven can do for 3.5 hours. I tried this but my roast still came out rather tough.

What do you think? Was his advice accurate? Maybe I just needed more time.

One deviation I made was he suggested using the beef chuck roast with the 7 shaped bone in it and all my store had was the boneless variety.

It's true. Did he give the weight to use? Yours could have been bigger and may have needed more time.

Ok! Thanks, I will try again and give it more time. He didn't give the size of the roast unfortunately. :\
