How To Prepare Beef Chuck Shoulder Steak 

Beef chuck shoulder steaks are an economical cut perfect for many recipe applications. The key is to choose cooking methods that will have it ready quickly. When searing is desired, a high temperature will yield a tender bite in just a minute or so therefore it is wonderful for stir frying. Pan frying is another great option for cooking beef chuck shoulder steaks, too.

The Technique

When pan frying, just a small amount of oil is necessary to yield crisp & flavorful beef chuck shoulder steaks that may be used for main dishes or classic Mexican tortas. Dredging them in a bit of flour first not only allows other ingredients to adhere which in turn creates the crunchy exterior but it offers a carrier for spices. These spices stick to the beef better & all around the entire surface.
