Chuck Roast
Anything labeled “chuck” comes from the cow’s shoulder area. All chuck is known for having a rich, beefy flavor, and most (but not all) cuts of chuck are lean and grow more tender with longer cooking. In other words—perfect for the Crock Pot! This includes any chuck labeled as “roast.” Learn the safest types of meat to buy.
Chuck Roast Substitutes: Sometimes, chuck roast is labeled as blade roast, 7-bone roast, or arm roast. If you can’t find any of these options, try another uniformly-shaped, lean cut of beef like tri-tip roast, top round roast, or bottom round roast (sometimes called rump roast).
