About this cut
What it is and how to use it
Shoulder roasts come from the large, hard-working muscles of the front shoulder. They are usually boneless, leaner than a classic chuck roast, and have a coarse grain and robust beef flavor. Because they have less internal fat, they do best with moist heat, such as braising or a slow cooker, or slow roasting and slicing thin. They make good shredded beef and economical family roasts.
Cook’s tipBraise covered in liquid until fork-tender, or slow roast and slice very thin across the grain. Lean roasts dry out if cooked uncovered for too long.
