      Looking forward to it G! That looks like a nice hunk of chuck. I wonder if when being sold as a smaller portion it's named braising steak, and when you buy the entire 6+ kg chunk they call it chuck? Either way, I'm glad you found the cut you were looking for. Looks like it has some nice marbling. Plenty of leftovers! If you cut it down into smaller pieces (maybe 3?) they'll cook a little faster, and you'll have more surface area to sear which will add to your flavor development.

      That's a lot of information on that label.

        I buy my large cuts of meat from a butcher who supplies most of the decent restaurants down here.  It may be that that level of info is required by the F&B industry in the UK…..

          Fantastic! Yes, that makes sense. Shellfish (particularly oysters) are labeled like that here in the States. If there's ever an outbreak of food borne illness, they want to be able to track down the exact bed the oysters came from. Oyster tags found on the bags they're sold in, are required to be maintained for at least 90 days.

            I loathe the bullshit use of 'harvested' when referring to animals. Corn and wheat is harvested, chickens, cattle, pigs, are slaughtered.

            The only exception I would make to using the term 'harvest' is when capturing/killing your own food (ie.fishing or hunting), as opposed to buying store bought meat where the animals are in fact slaughtered. I'm sure some might not see a difference between the two but I think there is.

              Plus oysters are harvested from oyster beds. I get it. They technically arent “slaughtered” until
              The shell is opened. So they are harvested for slaughter/shucking. And also seawolf is right, You need to keep
              The paper work on shellfish for 90 days from the day the last oyster out of a package is used.

              Just took my serve safe class. For a 91 on the test. 90 questions.

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                  Today, I going to attempt, what will probably be a poor imitation of @seawolf 's, Yankee Pot Roast.

                  Piece of Chuck was large…

                  Cut it in half and the other bit can go to the freezer for next time…Zach's suggestion was to cut the meat up into smaller pieces, so it ends up having more surface to sear

                  I couldn't find Pearl Onions either, so I'm using shallots….

                    What a lovely pile of ingredients! I think the shallots will be wonderful. Don't be shy with the (kosher or sea) salt when you're searing 🙂

                                  11 days ago, I placed a 13 lb prime brisket into a brine. Last night, I cooked the corned beef and served it with cabbage, carrots, and mashed potatoes. Today however, is when the fun really begins. Reuben sandwiches.

                                      Started with some great bread. Rye is preferred, but in a pinch I had to use sourdough. Next, some homemade thousand island dressing and some fresh sauerkraut. Swiss cheese, homemade corned beef piled high, and into the pan. Cooked low and slow to make sure they're crispy and hot all the way through.
