Contrary to what you may be thinking about a cut with tender as part of its name, chuck tender is anything but tender. Slow cooking, as with many other cuts from the chuck, is needed in order to turn that toughness into tenderness. For this cut, braising or stewing is typically the cooking method of choice due to the low amount of fat. However, when properly cooked on a parrilla you will be rewarded with a delicious chunk of meat full of rich beefy flavor.]]> http://www.asadoargentina.com/chuck-tender-chingolopalomita/feed/ 3 http://www.asadoargentina.com/aguja-sin-hueso-boneless-chuck-roast/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/aguja-sin-hueso-boneless-chuck-roast/#comments Tue, 02 Dec 2008 22:05:20 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/?p=214 Like how there is chuck and chuck, there is aguja and aguja. Huh? Let me explain. There is chuck the primal cut which comes from the shoulder area with some of the neck and ribs included and, from this primal cut, there is a section of muscles that form what is called the chuck roll cut. (This section runs above the shoulders, along the back, from part of the neck to where the rib eye cut begins. From the chuck roll you get the roasts or steaks known as chuck eye, chuck, tender, and under blade. At times the chuck roll and its various cuts are simply truncated down to chuck steaks or chuck roasts. The same can happen to other cuts within the chuck primal cut but more often than not they are labeled as their proper names such as blade roast, cross-rib roast, 7-bone roast, etc. Confusing, right? ]]> http://www.asadoargentina.com/aguja-sin-hueso-boneless-chuck-roast/feed/ 0 http://www.asadoargentina.com/finding-good-beef/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/finding-good-beef/#comments Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:17:01 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/finding-good-beef/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/finding-good-beef/feed/ 1 http://www.asadoargentina.com/ojo-de-bife-rib-eye/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/ojo-de-bife-rib-eye/#comments Mon, 08 Oct 2007 16:53:52 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/ojo-de-bife-rib-eye/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/ojo-de-bife-rib-eye/feed/ 2 http://www.asadoargentina.com/bife-de-chorizo-sirloin-strip-steak-top-loin/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/bife-de-chorizo-sirloin-strip-steak-top-loin/#comments Mon, 14 May 2007 22:18:12 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/bife-de-chorizo-sirloin-strip-steak-top-loin/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/bife-de-chorizo-sirloin-strip-steak-top-loin/feed/ 14 http://www.asadoargentina.com/colita-de-cuadril-tail-of-rump-tri-tip/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/colita-de-cuadril-tail-of-rump-tri-tip/#comments Tue, 24 Apr 2007 22:01:02 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/colita-de-cuadril-tail-of-rump-tri-tip/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/colita-de-cuadril-tail-of-rump-tri-tip/feed/ 5 http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-two/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-two/#comments Sat, 17 Mar 2007 23:27:26 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-two/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-two/feed/ 10 http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-one/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-one/#comments Fri, 26 Jan 2007 21:30:44 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-one/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-one/feed/ 7 http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge/#comments Mon, 08 Jan 2007 22:59:24 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge/feed/ 10 http://www.asadoargentina.com/lomo-tenderloin/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/lomo-tenderloin/#comments Wed, 24 May 2006 20:28:32 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/?p=43 http://www.asadoargentina.com/lomo-tenderloin/feed/ 2
