Chuck steak is a richly flavoured cut of beef that works especially well in slow-cooked recipes. Find it at The Butcher’s Blade in Sandbach, Cheshire, for hearty stews, casseroles and traditional home-cooked dinners.Cooking tip: Brown the beef to build flavour, then cook gently with stock, onions and herbs until tender. Chuck steak can also be cut into chunks for a slow-cooked beef casserole or pie filling.Serving suggestions: Pair with mashed potato, dumplings, root vegetables or crusty bread. Slow cooking allows the meat to soften and the flavours to develop.Choose chuck steak from your local Sandbach butcher when you’re planning a comforting meal that rewards a little time in the kitchen.
Chuck Steak from The Butchers Blade in Sandbach. A choice for a meal where patient cooking is part of the appeal. Cuts commonly used for braising suit a plan built around a covered pot, a suitable cooking liquid and time to develop tenderness. This is a different shopping decision from choosing a steak for a quick sear: match the cut to the method you intend to use.
Choosing for your meal
Plan the number of portions, the size of your cooking vessel and how much time you have available. Bone-in cuts need to be considered differently from boneless meat when judging serving amounts. Check your selected weight and ask Lee about preparation if needed. Timing depends on the cut, size and appliance; use a suitable recipe rather than an unsupported fixed time.
Serving ideas
Mashed potatoes, beans or bread can make the most of a braising sauce, with greens alongside for contrast. Brown suitable meat in batches if your recipe calls for it and avoid overcrowding. Check safe cooking as well as tenderness, then follow appropriate cooling and refrigeration guidance for leftovers. Suggested vegetables and cooking liquid are purchased separately unless the listing states otherwise.

Cooking Chuck Steak
Pat dry, season and sear every outside surface. Adjust cooking for the thickness and rest before slicing across the grain. Rolled or tenderised cuts need thorough cooking.
How to cook steakLee’s tip
Slow it down
Chuck is a hard-working shoulder cut. Braise it whole or diced until tender — it makes some of the best pies and chillies there are.
What goes with it?
Steak and ale pie with mash, or a slow chilli with rice and soured cream. A Shiraz or a dark ale.
