When you order from ButcherBox, you’re not getting just any chuck roast. You’re getting a boneless, grass-fed, grass-finished chuck roast that’s lean and unbelievably delicious. If you ask us, it’s what dreams are made of.
Cut from the beef shoulder just above the short rib, chuck roast becomes increasingly tender when braised or roasted. That means it’s an excellent choice for one-pot recipes, so pull out the Dutch oven or crock pot for an easy dinner.
Get the most out of your chuck by trying a rich and flavorful beef broth as your cooking liquid. If there happen to be leftovers, we recommend using them for a terrific open-faced sandwich.

Our Favorite Chuck Roast Recipe
This flavorful version of a chuck roast features a spice mixture known as Chinese 5-spice. The powder is most often a combination of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, Sichuan peppers, and star anise—but also sometimes features ginger, nutmeg, orange peel, and turmeric. Chinese 5-spice is used in Chinese, Vietnamese, Tawainese, and Thai cuisines as well as other cuisines across Asia.
