Chuck steak is a heavily marbled steak from the rear loin, with a distinct flavour and a pleasant bite.
Meat knowledge
The chuck steak takes its name from the neck of the beef, also known as the chuck. This is where the steak is cut from. Heavily marbled and aged for a long time, Chuck steaks are something very special for true connoisseurs and are truly versatile.
Excellent for grilling or roasting. Prepared as a whole steak, the meat almost falls off the fork. Prepared as a steak, the meat is marvellously marbled and remains wonderfully succulent despite the short cooking times and hot searing!
The high proportion of intramuscular fat that characterises a Chuck steak gives it its own intense flavour. When the meat of a Chuck Steak or Chuck Roast (Chuck Steak in one piece) is cooked for several hours, the fat takes on a gelatinous and soft consistency
This gives you a Chuck Steak with bite and unparalleled flavour - our top-selling value steak.
The Chuck Norris of steaks
Of course, roast flavours are a must with steaks. We have a trick for you to get the most out of them! It is best to leave the steaks at room temperature for two hours before cooking and then season them with coarse sea salt.
Then place the chuck steaks in the pan or on the high temperature zone of the grill where they are seared very hot on both sides. After 3 minutes on each side, the meat is cooked to the desired core temperature on the indirect grill or in the oven. If you prefer a slightly pink core, aim for a core temperature of 54°C.
Recommendation for cooking
Medium rare at approx. 53 °C core temperature
Quantity per person
We recommend one 300g chuck steak per person.
Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
