Chuck Roast

A relatively inexpensive shoulder cut of beef, chuck roast starts out tough but becomes meltingly tender when you cook it using low temperatures and slow cooking times. But if you treat it like a steak and try to cook it quickly with high heat, it rebels and gets dry and stringy. Whether you cook chuck roast using your stovetop, oven, slow cooker, or pressure cooker, low and slow is always the way to go.
