About this cut
A chuck roast is a juicy, versatile piece of meat that comes from the area between the cow's neck and shoulder. It can be quite fatty, which is why it is so tender and juicy when cooked long and slow. It has a rich, beefy flavor and is also the part of the cow where grill-ready cuts like flank steak come from. Ground chuck can also be a type of hamburger you buy. However, in this instance, you are purchasing the whole chuck roast (not cut up or ground at all) -- perfect for that Sunday roast. A chuck roast is also a really great choice for shredded beef! When cooked long and slow, it easily shreds up and makes a great vessel for your favorite BBQ sauce :) The average serving of chuck roast contains about 86% of the daily protein you need, as well as 120% of your zinc requirements, AND over a third of your daily requirement for iron -- a nutritional win!
