This is why you need to stop buying Chuck Steaks

[@jlawrence0181]

In the US, large chunks of the chuck is available in many Mexican grocery stores labeled as "carne para tamales" at about 40% less than what you will pay for chuck steaks and chuck roasts.

[@jlawrence0181]

@Noxti! Too much government involvement in agriculture drives up prices. Fortunately, I think that there will be a new government in the Netherlands very shortly, and one that is not out to destroy agriculture as we know it. By the way, I stuffed my freezer with beef chuck roasts when they were US $2.78/ lb and that is one of the more expensive meats in my freezer other than some NZ lamb cubes that I bought for US$5.99 last month.

[@jlawrence0181]

@Noxti! You can't put ANY faith in politicians, period. In order to get affordable meats, you need to shop the grocery ads from the major chains and hit some of the Asian/Mexican markets as they can have some very low prices on beef cuts that are not popular among their ethnic clientele.

[@eyesears113]

Here are the three main beef cuts most Mexican carnicerías offer for carne asada…from most expensive to least: 1. Arrachera aka Skirt or Hanger steak 2. Palomilla aka Sirloin steak 3. Diesmillio aka Chuck steak

[@Roy-littlebear]

This is an awesome smoker. I am still using a suitcase smoker, I load it with wood chips and put the meat on the grill. Close the latches and it fits on my cook stove.

[@masterzombie161]

Here’s my marinade for them. -1 or 2 bell peppers -3 yellow chilis -2 ripe tomatoes Cut them up and fry them with some butter and salt for about 5 to 8 mins till the juices soften the veggies. Pour them on your cooked steaks and trap the steam and let it sit for about 10 mins and there you go. Steaks are tender and the marinade give its a good kick with beans and rice.

[@zzflash1]

In Canada. That smoker is $329 plus $154 for import fee and we are neighbours with the US. But in the Netherlands you get it for $169. Makes no sense. Love your channel by the way.

I used to have 5-6 lbs of chuck that I would grill up and have at weekend parties, just letting it rest on the board and cutting it into slices. So good and cheap. It would almost always be the first thing that was consumed completely.

[@kohort1]

I always thought chuck was for pot roast. But I'm somewhat new to this

[@mobilemcsmarty1466]

chuck can be a bit challenging to cook but yes, the flavor is excellent. I've enjoyed chuck in one way or another since a little kid. what a nice recipe to try, thanks! I like the part about buying a "technical" slab. chuck is a less expensive cut already but why not make it even less expensive? ..you now get to cut it your way too 😀 as a side note, I'm wondering how can the wireless thermometer work inside of a metal container covered with alum foil? physics say that no radio waves can penetrate such a container. curiously, the thermometer was inserted into the meat before smoking uncovered but the desired temperature during that stage was not mentioned, only color was suggested 🤔

[@robintownsend2041]

the fabled faraday cage - physics theory only - doesnt work in practice. unless you are in an aeroplane in a lightning storm.

[@mobilemcsmarty1466]

@@robintownsend2041 I'm pretty sure about this one Robin. try a simple test. wrap your cell phone in alum foil. there must be no gaps. try calling it from another phone. it won't ring. ordinary alum foil doesn't just mostly block, not even like 99%, it's 100%. how do you think your food gets cooked in a microwave but not you standing right next to it? 🤔 yes, it's because both the foil and the microwave are Faraday cages.

[@devincross2205]

​@@mobilemcsmarty1466 sorry to necro-thread, But I was curious about this because I was planning to do a cook with ribs using one of these thermometers later today. I just tried wrapping one of the thermometers in two layers of aluminum foil, without a gap, and it maintained a connection to my phone. The "Meater" uses bluetooth between thermometers and the base and then again between the base and the cell phone. From what I've read about Faraday cages, the fact that the base is close to the thermometer allows for the signal to be picked up and then broadcast to your phone. So, it's more like dampening a sound with insulation as opposed to turning the signal off. Hope this helps!

In UK I think we would know that sugar as Muscovado or maybe demerara, most likley dark muscovado, much though I like the Dutch word for it there is generally enough profanity in my kitchen already!

[@jeffvantslot5162]

Glad to see another excellent use of turmeric. Well done! (Except the steak. Don't do the steak well done. Done well yes. Well done no.)

[@CliftonMurphyjr]

Did anyone else actually cry when he said he cooked to an internal of 200 degrees? Also, if you don't cut the meat after the initial cut until you let it rest for at least 10 minutes, you'll be much happier with the end result, as all that flavor ended up on your cutting board. :( Great looking rub though!

[@larrylyon6695]

This is basically the same process for smoking beef brisket. The result is the collagen renders into a jelly like substance which is delicious. I’ve never seen the process used on chuck but apparently it works fine. If you grill beef which is a quick cook using thinner cuts of beef you aim for lower internal temperatures but smoking thicker cuts with lots of fat you cook at low indirect heat for longer periods. Enjoy and don’t worry!

[@kid2nice6]

That looks great! should call that rub "Gold Dust" color looks awesome.

Ya, I thought the same thing, I can use it on or off the cart. Except if you take it off the cart you have no way to pick it up when it’s hot! (No handles) and you can’t buy just the handles. It’s also a big pain in a** to take off and put back on.

[@flfbsphatboyblue8970]

Nothing like a nice Delmonico cut from the chuck tail! Supper tender and beefy flavour! I prefer them over the ribeye. Sure, the ribeye is incredible for its tenderness but it can’t compare to the flavour of the chuck Delmonico.

[@kenthhamner2641]

Low and slow gives tender and evenly done meat.

[@newtonbrook]

You can also add stroop to the sauce. There is one with a Frisian flag on it. It is the best.

[@raymondmcseveney9290]

Kinda off topic, but what's the difference between wet aging and dry aging? Other than the obvious. Can you do a video on that?

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

Wet Aging is meat vacuum packed that lets the meat's natural enzymes start to break down the tissue to tenderize. Dry Aging is in a humidity controlled, refrigerated cabinet that draws out some moisture, and allows beneficial fungus to grow on the exterior surfaces and elements in those fungi can aid in tenderizing and intensifying flavors. Dry Aging will/can reduce the overall amount of yield (available meat to cook and consume), so use it with care.

[@CB-sd8hg]

The smoker is increased in price insanely. Now its over 300,-

[@mobilemcsmarty1466]

I'm pretty sure you can execute the recipe with a garden variety Weber, or generic charcoal grill, just fine. put some lit coals on one side. sprinkle the coals with wet wood chips. then put meat on the other side, with lid on for a while so as to smoke to the desired internal temperature. sauce the meat. stoke up the coals, then crisp over the hot coals, yum 😋

[@sheilaren123]

[@ClissaT]

Often we can't get chuck in Australia. I don't know what happens to it! But it is often not available for the average buyer. I love chuck. I buy it in preference to any other steak. And I get upset when it is not available. I don't worry about the tiny bits of tough parts here and there in it. They are few. Not enough to worry about. Good chuck like from Angus or from Wagu is superb steak. Cooks even quicker than rump for example. I don't like rump. It is for sissies! Chuck is far better. For a 1inch steak, 2mins on each side and your steak is done! But you drained away the best part. The fat is the bit you should be eating! But that syrup that you had there was not molasses or at least not what we in Australia would call molasses. That that you had was syrup, a sweet softly flavoured sauce that is the final liquid before boiling turns the brew to crystals. They go like this from sugar to backstrap molasses. First is genuine raw sugar form which white sugar and icing sugar are made. Then comes cheap raw sugar which is white sugar with molasses spun back through it. Then comes syrup, then treacle, then molasses, then finally backstrap molasses. Sometimes you can also get backstrap treacle. It is halfway between treacle and molasses. Treacle is the next up in intensity. Molasses does not have any shininess to it. It is dense and not shiny and definitely no trace of transparency. Treacle is dense but has a shininess. Syrup is very shiny and a little bit transparent. Molasses has no transparency and no shininess. So I know things are different In other countries but in Australia at least we still have the original versions of the various forms of sugar. Not to worry, I'm sure people will buy something. Just so they know if they can't get molasses, pretty much any liquid sugar will do the trick. And in anycase if you used that much genuine molasses in a recipe here, then tried to boil it down, you would end up with something completely inedible because the molasses would have made it far too strong. So in Australia syrup is the way to go.

Makes more sense to leave it as a pure steak with charcoal grill and butter finish. Why make beef to taste like pork ? Yeah, pork is fine there is not much flavour to start with so sugared goo is ok, but beef with charcoal and hint of wood is where it's at. Just serve it with side kick of sauce. My favorite is anything with anchovy and tamarind in it

Chuck was always used to just chop meat, it was worthless in the 60s, my mother would make Chuck fillet steaks but you had to know how to cook it to be tender now it’s out of control the price

[@vandalsgarage]

I've never heard a primal (or sub primal) cut called a "technical". Is that a term used by European butchers? The chuck primal in the US can easily run to 80 pounds or more. If the entire chuck is too large, I'd look for a blade or cross rib sub primal. I think that fat steak you cut would be called a "Blade Steak" here in the US. The Chuck Eye steak (aka Delmonico) from the chuck cross rib is also a terrific cut of meat.

Dat is een beetje hetzelfde idee als wanneer je een fles drank koopt in een café, de uitbater krijgt het nooit aan het verstand van de inspecteur gepeuterd dat hij de fles ongeopend aan jou heeft verkocht en zal dus aan jou de BTW moeten doorrekenen alsof hij het per glas heeft verkocht en dan betaal je zelfs als hij het tegen kostprijs doorverkoopt al zomaar anderhalf tot twee keer zoveel als bij de slijter. Voor dit soort stukken moet je echt bij de (semi-)groothandel zijn, Makro, Sligro, Hanos bijvoorbeeld.
