Let’s talk about the kind of meal that makes people stop talking.
The kind that fills your kitchen with the sizzle of searing beef, the smoky aroma of bacon, and the warmth of slow-cooked spices.
That’s Envelope Roast — a show-stopping, flavor-packed way to prepare a beef chuck roast by wrapping it in a crispy bacon blanket and slow-roasting it to tender, juicy perfection.
It’s not just a roast.
It’s a dinner centerpiece.
And once you make it?
You’ll understand why it’s the kind of dish people remember for years.
🥩 What Is Envelope Roast?
Envelope Roast gets its name from the way the beef is wrapped in a “blanket” of overlapping bacon slices — like a delicious, savory envelope.
As it roasts:
The bacon crisps and renders, basting the meat in rich fat
The spices deepen in flavor
The tough chuck roast transforms into fall-apart tenderness
The result?
A moist, deeply flavorful roast with a smoky, salty crust — and pan juices so good, you’ll want to drink them (but we recommend drizzling them over mashed potatoes instead).
Perfect for:
Sunday dinners
Holiday feasts
Date nights
Or any time you want to impress without stress
