Can anyone tell me how or if this cut of steak can be prepared to cook on the grill like you would sirloin or TBone? I find it at great prices from time to time, but don't buy it because I don't know what I can do with it. Any suggestions anyone? Sandra from SC (lighting57) Sandra from SC

I do like chuck steak/roasts. Be prepared for it to be tough if you grill it. Chuck does have a wonderful flavor. DDad was a butcher and always said he would go for flavor over tenderness. When we grill, it gets thrown onto the grill without salt or marinade, seared and cooked rare, add the seasoning after it rests a few mins. The more you cook it the tougher it gets on the grill. If you like beef stew, cut it up into cubes for it for inexpensive stew meat. Makes wonderful stews. I buy it on sale and freeze it. The roasts I throw in my slow cooker with lots of onions and carrots and beef stock (1 can or use boullion) and cook it till it falls apart, serve over mashed potatoes-yum! Leftovers I make a stew.

My mom used to cook it in a pan wrapped in heavy foil with a can of mushroom soup and a package of onion soup mixed together and poured over top. It's really hard to get it tender unless you bake/roast it, I haven't even found that marianating it makes it very tender.

Sandra, Next time you are in the store, look at the rib-eye steaks.. The chuck cut of meat is next to the ribeye.. If you find chuck steaks that has a middle that looks like a ribeye, that part of it will be tender enough to grill.. Same with roasts, look for the center part that looks lik a ribeye.. The big thick part across the top is tougher and makes great pot roast or stew.. My dear MIL taught me that trick years and years ago.. She was in the restaurant business for over 40 years.. They had 4 in all.. Had to move one time because the city built a civic center on their location., another time a new court house..They had started out in the late 30's , early 40's in Marion, SC , not too far from you..
