We always have porter house, T-bone, filet mignon or strip steak for dinner. We never purchased and served any cut other than those because those are my husband’s favorites. To him, if not any one of those cuts, we are wasting money.
Well, my little one is a growing boy. Just like his old man, he loves steak. But he is more open-minded. When he asked me to make a steak dinner again after so many time, I asked him if he would try a cheaper cut of meat. (Because at the back of my mind, I am tired of making the same steak dinner over and over again.)
Right away, he agreed. (Yeah, that made this mama super happy.) So, that was how this chuck steak recipe was born.
My preference of my steak is cooked to medium rare or medium well. A little bit of pink in the middle is the best to me.
However, I found that when it comes to chuck steak, you are better off to have the steak fully cooked so that it is tender all the way.
Thinking about it, chuck roast is a similar kind of cut. It needs long cooking time. Apply the same rule to chuck steak makes sense.
Just like cooking other steaks, I let the steaks stay at room temperature. I usually take them out around 7am before heading to work. I will cook them around 6pm. So, they are out almost 12 hours.
Also, I hold the salt until the meat is served. I know it is against what all the pros say. Believe me, the meat is much tender.
The sauce I make in this chuck steak recipe is low carb. Another way to serve it is to skip the sauce and serve on romaine lettuce with your favorite salad dressing. Ranch would be a great choice.
You can also make some twists to the sauce here. Once, I added a small can of mushroom pieces like the pics showing here. So, add your special touch and be creative.
The purpose of this chuck steak recipe is to be affordable for feeding big crowd or family. Therefore, all ingredients of the sauce listed here to go with the steak are all economical ones. Do feel free to substitue them with beef stock and/or wine.
