Chuck Eye
Roast
The Chuck Eye Roast comes from the shoulder section, nestled between the neck and the rib. Often overlooked, it’s one of the most flavorful roasts thanks to its deep beefy taste and light marbling. The chuck roast’s texture absorbs sauce beautifully which makes it perfect for braising. When cooked low and slow, it becomes naturally pull-apart tender, making it a favorite for saucy dishes and pulled beef. Because it’s usually sold in a netting, the roast keeps a neat shape as it cooks and can be sliced evenly once cooled.
