Chuck

The Chuck is the shoulder region. This area includes many different muscles, resulting in a wide range of cuts with varying tenderness but consistently rich flavor. Chuck is the classic beef for a pot roast, slow cooked to break down tougher meat. But it also includes the Flat Iron steak and the delicate Petite Tender, second only to Filet Mignon in tenderness.
