Beef, ground
Beef chuck is found right behind the neck. It’s basically the shoulder area of the cow and the type of beef you think about when slow cooking anything for a pot roast. Depending on the cow, the chuck can be very fatty and it’s not the beef portion you get when you’re thinking of a ribeye steak. While you should be prepared for the beef chuck to have a lot of connective tissue, that’s what gives such a rich flavor and texture best used for slow cooking.
