Chuck Roll Beef

The Chuck Roll chop is obtained from the long muscle of the young bull, which is located between the ribs and the shoulder blade. The cuts have a moderate marbled lattice of fat veins, which ensures the moisture and tenderness of the meat. Due to the abundance of fat layers, it is best to marinate the meat before cooking. This type of meat is usually cooked to medium rare or medium rare.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS FOR Chuck Roll Beef

Although chuck steak can certainly be grilled to perfection like any other steak, to get the most out of your meat, it’s best to marinate the chuck steak for at least two hours before grilling it. If you give it the proper amount of time to marinate, that moisture and flavor will be retained in the meat throughout the grilling process. To get started, add a simple marinade of olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper to a bag with your steak and let it marinate for 2-3 hours Preheat your grill to high heat and brush with oil to prevent sticking. Grill your steak for 5 minutes on each side so it is medium rare. We would also recommend creating an herb butter to serve over the grilled steak by combining 4 tablespoons of softened butter with 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, parsley and cilantro. This butter will help add some moisture and flavor to the meat when serving.
