Notes
Cook’s Tip: When buying chuck roast, purchase 4 ounces or more than the required amount in ingredient list, because there is “hidden” fat that may need to be trimmed on the underside of the beef or throughout beef. The weight given in the ingredient list is the weight AFTER it has been trimmed of fat.
