About Beef shoulder

Beef shoulder, also known as chuck, is a flavorful and versatile cut of meat derived from the shoulder area of the cow. A staple in many cuisines, it’s commonly used in slow-cooked dishes like stews, pot roasts, and braised meals due to its rich marbling and ability to become tender with longer cooking times. This cut is rich in protein, iron, and zinc, essential for muscle growth, immune health, and energy production. However, beef shoulder typically contains a higher fat content, which contributes to its hearty flavor but may require moderation for those monitoring their saturated fat intake. Leaner preparation methods, such as trimming excess fat or using healthier oils and seasonings, can make this cut a more balanced option. Popular in American comfort food and international dishes alike, beef shoulder is an affordable and satisfying choice for a wide variety of recipes.
