WHERE THE CUT COMES FROM

About the Chuck Cut

The Chuck is a large primal cut taken from the shoulder area of the cow, located between the neck and the rib. It’s one of the most flavorful sections of beef, known for its rich marbling and deep, beefy taste. Chuck offers a versatile range of cuts that serve both value and quality — making it a favorite in restaurants, butcher shops, and home kitchens alike.

Key Features:

Rich Flavor: Natural marbling throughout the muscle gives chuck cuts exceptional flavor, especially when slow-cooked.

Great for Slow Cooking: Cuts like Chuck Roast, Chuck Roll, and Shoulder Clod become fall-apart tender with braising or roasting.

Grill-Ready Options: Some sections, like the Flat Iron Steak and Denver Steak, are surprisingly tender and ideal for quick grilling or pan-searing.

High Yield: The Chuck primal can be broken down into a variety of sub-primal cuts, offering flexibility for different menu applications or retail packaging.

Common Cuts from the Chuck:

- Chuck Roll

- Chuck Eye Roast
