Description

Beef chuck is a rich, flavorsome and highly versatile cut of meat from the shoulder area of the cow, full of tough connective tissue. It is often sold as large roasts or steaks, but can also be found cut into smaller chunks ideal for stewing or braising. Beef chuck has a robust, beefy flavor that is further intensified through long, slow cooking methods, typically resulting in tender, succulent meat that falls apart easily. It is commonly used in hearty recipes like pot roasts, beef stew, and chuck steak, equally popular in traditional barbecue, stir-fries and slow-cooker recipes. Beef chuck is also ground for use in hamburgers and meatballs. Given its relatively pocket-friendly price, it's an affordable choice for feeding large groups or for meal prep. This cut of beef offers significant nutritional value, providing a good amount of protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Grocery Store Location

Beef chuck is usually found in the meat section of a grocery store. It's often near the other types of beef like ground beef or steaks. Look for signs labeling the different types of meat to find the section for beef, or ask an employee for help if needed.
