Beef Chuck Roast
Chuck roast is a classic, richly flavored cut known for its versatility and comfort-food appeal. Cut from the shoulder, it contains a balanced mix of lean meat and connective tissue that becomes exceptionally tender when cooked low and slow.
This chuck roast comes from our Dexter cattle, a heritage breed well-suited to pasture-based systems. Raised at Growing Roots Farm using rotational grazing practices, our beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, producing deep, beef-forward flavor and satisfying texture.
Cooking Suggestions & Temperature Guidance
Chuck roast is best prepared using moist, slow-cooking methods that allow the connective tissue to break down:
-
Best methods: Slow cooker, braise, Dutch oven, or smoker
-
Heat: Low and slow
-
Seasoning: Salt, pepper, garlic, herbs, or a simple dry rub
-
Finish: Rest 10–15 minutes before slicing or shredding
Internal Temperature (for tenderness):
-
Sliceable roast: 185–195°F
-
Pull-apart tender: 200–205°F
Cook until tender rather than to a specific doneness.
