About the Cut
What is a Chuck Roast?
The chuck roast is a well-marbled cut taken from the shoulder of the cow. Its natural connective tissues break down during slow cooking, creating an unparalleled depth of flavor and tenderness. Known as the quintessential cut for pot roasts and braising, it’s a favorite for those who value rich, savory meals steeped in tradition.
Cooking Instructions
Classic Pot Roast
Prepare the Roast: Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let the roast rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Sear: Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
Build the Flavor: Add onions, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté until softened. Deglaze the pot with beef broth or red wine, scraping up any browned bits.
Cook Low & Slow: Return the roast to the pot, add herbs like rosemary or thyme, and cover with broth. Cover and simmer on low heat for 3-4 hours (or bake at 325°F) until fork-tender.
Serve: Slice against the grain or shred the meat, then serve with the vegetables and pan juices.
Slow Cooker Method
Sear for Flavor: Brown the roast in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
Combine Ingredients: Add potatoes, carrots, onions, and broth or tomato-based sauce.
Cook: Set on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours.
Serve: Shred or slice and serve with the slow-cooked vegetables and sauce.
Pair your Farmhouse Chuck Roast with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice for a satisfying meal.
