About this cut
What it is and how to use it
Arm steaks are cross-cut slices from the chuck's arm section, easy to spot by the round shoulder bone in the middle and the ribs along one edge. They are lean and flavorful but chewy if grilled. Braise them in tomato sauce or gravy, as Swiss steak, or cook them low and slow in a covered pan until tender. Leftovers shred well for sandwiches.
Cook’s tipBrown the steaks, then simmer covered in sauce or broth over low heat for about an hour and a half, until tender.
