BRAISED CHUCK STEAK
Chuck Steak is usually tough & tasteless, but not when prepared like this! I like making a gravy with the drippings & serving it with Recipe #331767 Choose a boneless chuck steak that isn't too fat, but has some nice marbling. You can also use Beef Short Ribs for this.

Steps:

- Drain fat from dutch oven & return the meat.
- Place sliced on over the meat & then add the water.
- Cover & simmer on LOW heat for 2 to 2½ hours OR place in a 325° for the same amount of time.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck steak is a tough cut of meat, but it becomes tender and flavorful when braised. Other good options for braising include brisket, short ribs, and pot roast.
- Brown the meat before braising: Browning the meat in a hot skillet or Dutch oven before braising helps to develop flavor and color.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the meat its flavor, so it's important to use a flavorful liquid. Good options include beef broth, red wine, beer, or a combination of these liquids.
- Add vegetables and herbs to the braising liquid: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and complexity to the braised meat. Good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Cook the meat until it is fall-apart tender: The meat should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, which usually takes at least 2 hours. You can check the meat for doneness by inserting a fork into it. If the fork goes in easily, the meat is done.
Conclusion:
Braised chuck steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your braised chuck steak turns out tender, flavorful, and delicious.
