Chuck Roast, Choice Angus Beef, Tray, Fresh, 2.25 - 2.75 lb

I’ve bought this brand/size roast at least 10 times now. EVERY time I cook one of these, it’s the most delicious roast anyone says they have ever had. It falls apart and there’s so much marbling that the fat renders down perfectly. I won’t buy roast from anywhere else.

This roast consistently has a decent flavor. Beef today is fed a little differently than it used to be, so there is less intense flavor, but this is good enough. Sometimes, it comes in a little fatty, but that's to be expected with this cut, and it's fairly easy to remove much of it with a fat separator and a knife and fork. If you want less fat, don't order chuck - get a leaner cut, but be prepared to spend more for it and be less pleased with the taste and texture. That fat marbling is what makes it more tender and provides a lot of flavor. Leaner is tougher and less tasty. But, your choice. Cook it low and slow(think: slow cooker or oven on 350° or even 325°) - with some liquid to help keep it moist - and you'll have a great meal that is tender, with a moist consistency and with convenience in the kitchen.
