Let’s compare primo american prime grass-fed beef that stays in 🇺🇸 vs the American prime that you see in Japan 🇯🇵 . The @ElkinsCattleCo meets my perfect description of a perfect Chuck Steak, the American prime imported into Japan fails every test I described 2 days ago.
This is equally important for Americans to learn. Not all Chucks are equal even off the same animal, but if you are looking at them you can control which one you pick, or order from the 🐐 of 🥩 for us Americans!
This is a truly prime chuck! I respectfully call them the Sir Charles per @goodbreffis request and they deserve that name because they are the royalty of the butcher cuts.
This is a chuck steak!!! I will tell you all the secrets.
1) this is 3 cuts of beef in one
2) separate the long skinny muscle at the top (Denver Steak). It is one of the best kept butcher secrets in America (or was).
3) the remaining steak is the chuck eye + Sierra, my personal favorite. It is the brother of the ribeye it just comes from the first 3 ribs instead of the remaining ribs. Take that middle muscle out (Sierra) because it’s tough and pan sear the chuck eye.
