When you think of steak, ribeyes and strips often get the spotlight — but chuck steak deserves its place at the table. At Big Horn Mountain Farms, our pasture-raised Wagyu-Angus beef makes even humble cuts like chuck shine with big, bold flavor.
Chuck steak comes from the shoulder area of the cow, giving it rich marbling and deep beefy taste. It’s an affordable option that becomes tender and delicious when cooked with the right technique.
Recipe: Garlic Herb Marinated Chuck Steak
Ingredients:
2 Big Horn Mountain Farms Chuck Steaks (about 1–1.5 lbs each)
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
Instructions:
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Place steaks in a resealable bag or shallow dish, coat with marinade, and refrigerate at least 2 hours (overnight for best results).
Preheat grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat.
Cook steaks 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting for thickness.
Rest steaks for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
✨ Farm Tip: Chuck steak is great grilled, but also shines when slow-braised. If you’ve got time, try cooking it low and slow with onions and broth for fork-tender results.
Raised naturally on pasture, our chuck steaks have the flavor you crave — whether you grill them hot and fast or braise them until tender.
USDA Safe Cooking Reminder
