I'm trying to figure out if beef chuck roast is generally tender or tough. Does it depend on how it's cooked or is it always one or the other? I'd appreciate any insights, cooking tips, or personal experiences to help me understand this cut of meat better. šŸ¤”

Beef chuck roast is naturally a tough cut, but it can turn super tender if cooked the right way! šŸ˜‹ Itā€™s best when slow-cooked, braised, or cooked in a crockpot because the long, low heat breaks down the tough fibers. If you try to cook it quickly like a steak, itā€™ll stay chewy and tough. My go-to is a slow-cooked pot roastā€”just throw it in with some broth, onions, and seasoning, and let it work its magic! šŸ–šŸ”„
