Hi my dears. For decades we used to butcher, and process our own beef and pork. We had a meat band saw, tubs to make hamburger, to mix sausage in, etc, etc. We had great knives too, but if any knife is sharp it will cut. People are so spoiled nowadays. If it isn't wrapped in plastic and on a styrofoam plate they don't want it. We buy straight from the farmer, or our local butcher shop, we cut out the middle man. Cut and wrapped in butcher paper. Keep up the good work Steph!! God bless you both. 🙏💖

bought my 1st chuck roll at costco today.. $4.49 / lb ... weighed 20.78 lbs. will be breaking it down tonight and i know it will be delicious. thank you so much for sharing!

I watched your previous video on chuck roll and decided to go back on Carnivore (I have tried six times over the last year, but the keto flu killed me). This time, I experienced no flu and it was easy to get in. I found I craved meat over other things and it has been the easiest time yet. Still on it. I cut mine into steaks, roasts, broth waste pieces and jerky. For 4.38 a pound in Spokane WA, I find this the perfect solution to carnivore! I feel incredible and cannot believe I have not gotten the keto flu. I also agree that the air fryer is incredible. The roasts I do in a crock pot and the broth from it is incredible! Thanks for your videos, it definitely has changed life for me!!

Stopped bt my Costco yesterday verfied they sell the individual chuck roll for 4.39/lb..I am totally inspired!! this makes it look simple and doable! thanks so much!!

With the silver skin and other bits of gristle, I slice those off then salt them and put them in the air-fryer until they are crunchy like pork rinds.

I've missed watching yalls videos. Work is just crazy right now. I'm just starting out on the carnivore way of life. I'm so excited. 😊 great video as usual. 😊😊

Just bought one at Sam’s club, opened up KZfaq to search “how to cut steaks from a chuck roll” and here y’all are with this video!

thank you for showing how easy it can be to break down a chuck roll. This was much less intimidating to watch than a lot of the other videos on KZfaq. I feel much better about the process now.

I've been waiting for you to show just how you do it.

That tough, chewy connective tissue has the proteins/amino acids that we need to make and repair our own tendons and connective tissue. Cut the pieces small, chew a few times and swallow it basically whole. Trust me, it will dissolve and be absorbed long before it gets to the end of your small intestine. Meat, fat, even tendon never makes it to your colon. If you don't believe me go ask anyone with a colostomy bag. I promise you, they never found any animal products in the bag unless they chewed and swallowed bone. Some proteins/sugars from dairy may make it to the colon, but a lot of people have bacteria that can handle that and finish digesting it for them.

I I've been watching videos about chuck roll for days and this is my favorite because you cut it regularly.

I really want to see the cooking process and how thy looked cooked ❤

Here in Ecuador i buy osso busco for $4.49/kg yes there is a bone and yes it is tough unless cooked for a long time or under pressure. But its AMAZING and i put the bone marrow on it.

Well, I have not bought a Chuck Roll yet (I am going to in the near future), but I have bought chuck roast (the one you would use in a pot roast) and I have now been using this as steak. I marinade it with olive oil, some worcestershire sauce, small amout of soy sauce and minced garlic overnight. As a bonus, add in some rosemarry or any other herbs you like. It's litteraly the best thing ever! Salt and Pepper 30 mins before cooking. I just do it in a pan with avocado oil to get the crust - butter later. Like a regular steak. You can reverse fry as well; put in oven first, then fry after. You will not be dissapointed. My favorite cut is the Rib Eye. If you do this right with the chuck, it is just as amazing.

You guys are the best, I myself love the chuck, and it is very affordable and very tender. Try not to listen to all the pre- madonnas. Keep doing what your doing, also thanks for that Costco hack I never knew chuck was that affordable in bulk. Thanks!!!!

Thank you so much for this hack

So cool you guys are showing this- I think people over complicate it in our minds, I know I used to, but it's truly this easy. I just looked up a bunch of videos a couple years back, learned how easy it is, & went to town. I always get the same chuck eye steaks, the denvers, &/or stew meat/roasts they do, if I want to take the time to seperate the sections of muscle, which is also easy. But you don't have to, just cut it up how you like~ the way Steph's doing. *Yes, you're right~ that top, slightly rounded section is the "chuck eye roll", which people cut into chuck eye steaks, but you only get 2 usually. Just under that is one large "sierra" steak~ which looks like flank or flat iron steak. Under the sierra is where the "denver" steaks are~ you get 4-6 of those if you want them an inch or more thick. Of course you don't have to, you can cut it any way you want. I think it's fun to cut it up plain & simple too, same as you do Steph, so you get part of the eye, part of the denver, sierra, chuck roast, etc. Stores cut them too thin & take off too much of the fat, imo~ we leave as much on as we can. We also use our air fryer for all our steaks (it's an airfryer/grill that gets to 510 degrees), & never went back either. We had a Ninja one first, but had to replace it after 2 yrs of daily use~ you can never, EVER get them clean after a while. Just have to get a new one after so much grease buildup where you can't reach it to clean. We have a Cosori now, identical to the Ninja, also goes to 510 degrees, which is the key imho~ cook it hot as possible, least amount of time, & get nice crispy crunchy outside layer~ YUM!! I've never had it be tough either. *Isn't crazy how excited we get about the beef?! It's like our brains & appetites are now synced up w/our bodies~ which are thanking us for finally figuring it out, right?! AMEN

Thank you for sharing that video! I have never bought a larger pack of chuck and might now. That looked super easy!

Greetings from Germany. 😊 Chuck Roll is the best. I keep buying it weekly and cutting it into steaks. 👍

Chuck has been my jam for a year now... my fave!!!!

Thank you so much for this video! Im new to carnivore and i would love to save money on meat. Now that I know how to cut this up I can go to Costco and buy one ofe these slabs of goodness!!

That looks great!

Love all your videos. ❤️🙏

I just cut up a chuck roll and we had our first steak and it was phenomenal! We may start our own program and call it "DaveSteph". You guys are so cool! Really enjoy your content.

You dudes are addictive to watch 😊

Yes chuck is the best and we appreciate it so much.

This is great! I watched the butcher wizard to learn this, but seeing how simple your doing it is helping me feel So Comfortable with doing it!!!

Thank you so much for posting this!

I just bought us a case of chuck roll yesterday for $4.19 a pound. The butcher was shocked that I wanted an entire case, I guess nobody has caught onto this in my area. I just cut it up the lazy way into 2 inch cuts with one of them like you did the other day but thanks for posting this more detailed one because I have two more to go lol. by the way, the ones we kept, two, and just did them in the air fryer were so delicious.

If you watch the Laura Spath video on chuck, she shows you exactly where the chuck eye is on a chuck roast. There are only about 3 chuck eyes on a chuck roll so most of it is just chuck.

Great video

Hello, I used to buy chuck steak, at that time I didn't have BBQ, I had always made it in the oven from the top only. broiling. Oh man it always came out as it has been on the BBQ. I'm like you I love my meat medium rare but I made it well done for the children & it wasn't tough for them. Now I'll be lucky to find a chuck steak in the store, not to mention they started to make it very thin & the price shot up 5 times what it used to be. Thank you for your response, I went to Costco here in Canada British Columbia, unfortunately they do not sell it. I prefer the chuck meat to any other meat cut for a steak. Thank you for doing this again. You're making me hungry. 🤗🤗😘😘

I used to get pork loins at Sam's for like $16-18 a loin. I think it is a little more expensive these day, but not crazy. Bring it home and break it down, the wrap a few pieces per bag. I use a Foodsaver for long term frozen storage.

You talked me into it, I'm getting a chuck roll tomorrow.

I souvie mine because it is super tough even in the air fryer 😢 But if I sous vide it then it's just perfect and super tasty 🎉🎉 Because of you ma dear Steph, I know buy the whole Ribeye roast. I didn't know I could do that😮 But yes, while roast Ribeye or Chuck... but I haven't bought chuck again.. its just tough and my hubby doesn't like the souvie steak❤❤

Chuck roll or chuck clod is my go to because of the price. I don't get fancy. Cut it down the middle the long way and however many lbs the entire piece is, that is how many steaks I make. Yeah, some of it is tougher than other parts but I just cut it into smaller pieces before putting it in my mouth. Chuck is flavorful. I am paying more than you guys but the nearest Sam's or Costco is 120 miles away. The chuck eye would only be in the first 4-6 inches in from the side you started cutting The first slice on that end is where the last ribeye was.

I have to go check out my Chef Store and see how much is a Check Roll... I know they have a refrigerator section with huge packages of meat. I'll check out all your other Carnivore videos... I want to do that *bone* *broth* and any other great ideas.

In order for chuck roll to be good you have to cook it correctly, cut it correctly, and or marinated correctly. I've made chuck roll tender as Australian wagyu before.

We bought a box from Costco Friday, same $4.19lb and National Beef. We cut it up today and had grilled steaks tonight cooked to 123 degrees topped with lots of butter and was very good! Thanks for the heads up on picking these up from Costco. In the past we got them from Chef Store/Cash and Carry and Costco's tastes better.

It’s so hilarious how you guys are geeking out over your meat! I do the same thing!!! I’m on a 30ish hour fast today and am super excited for some beef short ribs. Weird bits are the best! I think our body craves the collagen? Love it! Carnivores are passionate about our meat…😂

Thanks!

Wow Steph you made that look so easy 🥰and whoa that's one sharp blinking knife 😯......By the sounds of it, Steve could eat the whole Chuck Roll in one go, which would save you even more time 😂

thank you

Yummy! The protein is life!

I would cut them into 2" thick roasts for myself and throw a roast in the crockpot for 3h45m-4hrs... so fall apart tender and delicious. cutting them like this makes them a chuck roast/pot roast.

Thanks for the info on the Chuck roll! Also they have a cheap price at sams on lamb roast. My wife got a membership just to get it because it's hard to find lamb in my area. Same thing, just cut it up into pieces and air fry

So I bought one to try it before buying the whole box. I certainly didn’t know how to cut it up once I got it out of the package. Dang, that thing was heavy!!😅. We had the first one two nights ago and it was very good! I was also able to cut off some of the fat and we will have that later. I really need to learn how to cut it up correctly. Thank you for showing us how to actually do it.

A couple of weeks ago I went to the Costco Business Center for the first time since that day in March 2020 when Covid became a "thing." They have an entire aisle of self-serve boxes of meat. I just checked their website, and your Chuck Roll is $4.29/lb. delivered (to my zip code, I guess). And now, I'm going to take a minute and a half to microwave some taquitos for lunch. 🙂

Wow. Glad I found your channel. Im going to try this chuck roll. Also another idea for storage is to use the zwilling System. I got mine on Amazon and I love it. Bags come in different sizes as well. Thanks for all the ideas.

Really enjoy your videos. I started Carnivore Jan 20 2024. After 2 months - my hubby joined me. We both had separate issues - he sciatica in his back and me hormonal corrections. We are both living such a better life now. I would love to see how long you cook your chuck in your air fryer. I am baking 3-4 hours in the oven @ 275 and it gets hot in the house. We need it tender for his teeth. We have ninjas. Oh and try the beef ribs from Costco! Delicious. But again I slow cook those in foil for 2 - 2 1/2 hours then brown @425 for 10 minutes. But you gotta take the membrane (silver skin) off the back. I also discovered if you crush the salt in a ninja it sticks to the meat better. So good!

thanks , i’m getting a chuck roll in 2 weeks !!🙏

Oh snap, I'm going to Costco today, this will definitely be on my list, thanks for sharing! Great ideas!

I Sous Vide Chuck roll then sear it, tastes great but the sous vide is key to tenderizing it

The butcher wizard did it a few months ago.

I get chuck evertime I do a roast you cook it slow on the stove I let it cook for 4-5 hours it is so tender the best I have ever eaten

Your on the right path. Google how to cut out the "chuck eye steak" and the "denver steak", save these steaks for the grill. as for the rest just stew it or shave it thin.

Yes!

Great video. It’s so much cheaper to buy primal cuts and process them yourself.

I'll have to try this out, the chuck eye is at the ribeye end, If you were to go farther the Chuck eye turns into ribeye. Steve you are a lucky man

Thank you

We do this too and grind up into hamburger as we keep it simple.

I bought the refurbished Ninja ya'll have and I LOVE IT

I love the simplicity of your method. We bought a Chuck roll at Sam’s yesterday and tried cutting it up like butcher. So much work. We’ll try your method next time. Sam’s was $4.99/lb and Costco in Mobile don’t sell whole ones.

I didn't have to buy a whole crate to try it. My Sam's club offers a single one so I bough one. I've cut up whole ribeye from Sam's so good but $15.98 a lb. Carnivore for 16 mos. Love this kind of video thanks for sharing your finds and skills.

all the scrap pieces can be used for ground beef

I bought my first chuck roll yesterday at Sam's club. I tried breaking it down the way I see videos online. I even tried to cut the actual steaks out of it rather than to do like she's doing in this video. I stopped after about a 4th of the way through the 30 lb chuck roll and decided to cook one of the steaks in the air fryer. I did not overcook it it was still nice and pink inside however, it was so tough that I end up having to give it to the dogs. This chuck roll if cup properly will give you a few good steaks other than that you're looking at hamburger and chuck roast. I don't know how it is that these folks are able to cut it just any which way and it comes out good and tender for them, but it was tougher than shoe leather for me I literally just could not chew it I wasted over $100 because I wanted to get some decent steaks. Thank goodness I only bought one of them best wishes to all that are able to just cut it up in any random way and get tender meat but mine certainly was not tender

Depending what country your from, chuck is different. In Australia, chuck is used for stewing, in aus we'd use something more like blade , from top of shoulder near neck/backbone. I'm like Steph, buy it whole and cut it myself

Great Video! Can you do a follow up video, where you cook the steak in the ninja? So we can see how it turns out:)

Chuck is my goto. It can be tough if it is cut thin and cooked at high heat beyond medium rare. Don't try to cook chuck as if it was a new york steak. It isn't. I prefer a chuck "roast" to a steak. A roast will be 3 inches thick. I salt it, pan sear it in my carbon steel pan with a little beef tallow, then put that pan into the oven at 350-375 for 5-10 minutes depending on the size of the roast. Done! I have had overly lean chuck, which was tough. The fat is where it's at. I share your concern about cooking in plastic. I understand that you can sous vide in glass. Not sure how that works though.

I've done a couple of chuck rolls, and I've cut the steaks out nicely, separating the chuckeyes and the Denver steaks and all that, and grinding up the odd bits. But honestly . . . your way looks more interesting, and a lot easier! I thinkI I'll do that next time.

Chuck has one of the best taste

Hi Guys, Thanks for sharing and enjoy what you are doing. If it is working for you do it.

I love my air fryer for just about everything! As long as the knife is cutting. You have to cook chuck to rare to medium rare only or it becomes tougher and chewier. Thank you for showing how to butcher chuck roll. I actually prefer chuck steak to rib eye.

Never heard of chuck roll. I love chuck roasts.

This will make nice fatty ground meat as well. I use to do that with brisket, but this looks even better.

Thank you for the video showing how easy it can be to butcher the chuck roll. Having cut hundreds of these at my restaurant, I would suggest that you should invest in a 10 or 12” butcher knife. It will make it a lot easier to do the cutting. I take out all the nerves and silver skin and grind that for my dog.

Just left Costco after being told they will no longer be selling whole chuck rolls. When asked why they said THEY won’t let us do it anymore. BTW I’m in NE FL. Anyone else run into this??😮

Chuck eye steak comes from the shoulder of a cow, also known as the chuck primal, specifically from the fifth rib and lower.

I'm believing it! But happy for some tips. I ran out and got one the next day! Thanks!

I think it depends…. I buy a cow every year and have the chuck roast made into steak. Sometimes it’s a little tough but not bad and sometimes it’s better than ribeye! Most times it’s really fatty and delicious! Chuck steak is a great alternative to expensive steak ❤️🥩

When you poke it with your finger the eye is more tender.

Is there a video on how you cook it?? Please share

OMG. I never heard of Chuck Roll. That's a crazy amount of meat for the price. Thank you so much for sharing that. So - you cut 1 whole Chuck Roll and keep it in the fridge for the whole week? And cook it down, by 2 steaks a day? Another eye opener. I've been afraid of leaving meat in the fridge for more than 2 days. I wish my husband would try carnivore. I'd definitely buy a Chuck Roll if he was.

sounds like some viewers dont know what paert of the animal chuck comes from... its great for stews, steaks, or as i do slice 10mm and cook like bacon... great for toasted sandwiches with BBQ sauce. also chuck has more muscle tissue in it than most cuts due to it being the lower neck and shoulder cuts...

HOW TO CUT UP A CHUCK ROLL -watch: Butcher Wizard (This cut of meat will save you lots of money ) He will show you step by step to get you steaks, roast , ground beef Etc Great video !

Is that grass fed? So glad you showed how you did this. Now I can buy one at Costco!

how long in the air fryer and what temp ?

I don't eat meat but my partner and son eat meat . I have never heard of chuck roll meat . From Scotland

I’m in Arizona and have not found a chuck ROLL. They have Chuck eye (which are very tender) & Eye of Chuck steaks (which are tough). And Chuck roasts… But have not seen a chuck roll. We have a Sam’s Club and a Costco but have not seen this particular cut of Chuck. Maybe it depends on what state we reside in?

Nice

My butcher at Publix has told me that there are only two chuck eye steaks to the roll not sure whereabouts the chuck eye is or how they cut it

Where did you get the cutting board ? Need one

The Chuck eye is that piece on the top

I call the tough pieces “meat gum”. I love to chew on it forever.

Thanks gor listening to the comments and making this video! Do you freeze the other chuck rolls after you process them? What is your approach for thawing them?

Chuck roast is my favorite. I like to sous vide it for 25-36hre then sear. Or I make steak bites... Yum! I don't like the tenderness of the tenderloin. I like a little bit of chew in the beefy flavor of the chuck. I don't want my steak to melt in my mouth lol

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm gonna head to Costco and see if i can get the chuck roll. What kind of air fryer do you use. I'm concerned about the plastic and teflon in these things. Trying to find one that doesn't contain that.

Butcher Wizard on YT has a good tutorial on rendering chuck roll into steaks and roasts.

How long will those keep in the frig?
