Chuck Roast

Rich. Comforting. Made for Slow Cooking.

Chuck comes from a hardworking part of the animal, giving it excellent beef flavour and connective tissue that becomes beautifully tender during long, slow cooking.

At Gourmet Butcher, we select pasture-raised beef according to the same principle that guides everything we sell: if we wouldn't serve it to our own family, we won't sell it to yours.

Simple Cooking Guide

Brown the outside first, add moisture and aromatics, then cook slowly until the meat yields easily. This is not a cut to rush.

Ray's Notebook: Some cuts become tougher the longer you cook them; Chuck does the opposite when given enough time and moisture. Patience is part of the recipe.

Choosing the Right Cut

Choose Chuck when you want a rich slow-cooked roast; choose Sirloin Roast for quicker roasting and a pinker centre.
