Will Chuck Steak Work for London Broil?
 

I know that London Broil is a method, not a cut. But some stores do
label cuts as London Broil. I thought that's what we bought. Last
night I pulled a package out of the freezer and put it in the fridge.
I just looked at it and it says: Boneless Chuck Petite Steak.
Googling says it's usually top round roast. The steaks are about 3/4
inch thick. Here's a pictu

Will these work for London Broil? Is there a better way to use them?

Any help is always appreciated.

Flank steak or round is what is typically used. It has less flavor IMO than
chuck but the texture is not what people would recognize as LB. Still, what
the hell? Just find a butcher who will cut you a 2 inch cut of chuck and
have at it. It's bound to taste good though you run the risk of incurring
the wrath of the purists on this group (most of whom have never cookd one in
their life) who just may find your heresy more than they can handle. I
mean just who the **** do you think you are anyway? A cook?

I think top round is the cut usually used for London Broil.

That's definitely chuck, NOT round... that's beef chuck top blade

No reason you can't marinate and grill top blade steak.

Lou,
I've always thought that Chuck was a little tougher piece of meat,
that wasn't good for grilling.
I must have the wrong idea, or cut of meat in mind.

Those look like they're good for "pound your own" Swiss Steak.

Yes, those specimens are a bit fatty for the cut, but worse is that
fat is yellowish, indicating it's cut from an old animal... that's
becaue it's
Angus branded beef, they call it "Choice Angus", but that's not USDA
choice... branded beef has no USDA grade, branded beef can't have a
USDA grade. One who truly wants quality at a fair price should never
buy branded beef.

Ordinarilly that would be an excellent cut (flat iron steak) for the
grill. Also one should never use previously frozen beef for grilling.

Actually that's not a good cut for Swiss steak... and Swiss steak is
not pounded, Swiss steak is *cubed*. Actually pounded meat is not
acceptable culinary nomenclature... I think you're confused, you're in
the wrong venue, pounded meat is sexual terminology... you've been
watching too much porn. hehe

the thread of gristle might be a nuisance to deal with, and
three-quarter inch would be hard to slice on the diagonal. on the
other hand, the fat picks up any marinade well.

the package you have says stew or chili more to me. or you could
marinate it in your london broil marinade and just eat it as you would
any steak.

I've only purchased "cubed" meat once or twice at the most and wasn't
impressed. I'd pound them with one of these

beating in some flour, brown before braising and call it swiss steak.

There you go spreading those lies again. I pointed you towards
several references to graded ad branded beef last time you said
this, but I guess it still hasn't sunk into your immensely thick
skull.

It's almost always pounded. Even if you use cubed, they still get
pounded.

Most cuts sold in major supermarkets that are labelled as London Broil tend
to be labeled something like "Beef Round London Broil"; however, that's
usually more of a Round Steak cut rather than a Top Round Roast.

Not really, that's a lot of fat. I choose round or what they
label as Chataubriand (I can say it, but can I spell it?).
Something lean, anyway, when I make London Broil.

You probably wouldn't like my recommendation, but it's tasty:
wrap them in foil with some onion soup mix and bake for an
hour...

Lou, Beef Chuck, or Shoulder has to be cooked a long time to break all the
connective tissue down.
Braised chuck in any form is one of the tastiest cuts of beef.

No nuisance at all. With flat iron steak the vein of connective
tissue is typically removed prior to cooking. And usually each half
is sliced crosswise into three parts before grilling, this prevents
curling and makes for a better presentation. Flat iron steak is
excellent, tender and very flavorful.
