Chuck roast is the classic cut to use for slow-cooked pot roast. The SRF Black® chuck roast brings a whole new level of flavor and richness to this humble dish. American Wagyu beef contains more marbling and possesses a buttery aroma, flavor, and texture to this beloved home-cooked meal. Ideal for braising in the oven, slow cooker or Instant Pot.

The SRF Black® chuck roast can also be cut into chuck steaks that can be seared on the grill, but it really shines when prepared using sous vide cooking. The convenient size is compact and stores easily in a full freezer. A great item to keep on hand for easy, cool weather meals.

Average weight: 2.75 lbs.

This is a natural product, and actual weight may vary by +/- .5 lbs.

Use the Wagyu chuck roast just like you would a chuck roast from the grocery store.

To braise, sear the roast in a Dutch oven, then add stock, wine or water to cover. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer until the roast is fall-apart tender. 

The chuck roast can also be cut into steaks for a hearty steak dinner for the family.

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

What is the Snake River Farms Guarantee?

We guarantee that your order will deliver frozen or partially frozen with all items included to the provided address. If you have any concerns or issues with your order, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team. As our founder Robert Rebholtz, Sr. said, "We want our customers to want to do business with us." 

What is SRF Black® and SRF Gold®?

All SRF products are American Wagyu. We use the Japanese Beef Marbling Score (or BMS) to measure the marbling present in the beef. Both SRF Black® and SRF Gold® grade above USDA Prime. The SRF Black® grades between a BMS 6 to 8; SRF Gold® is the highest marbled with a BMS score at 9+.

What is American Wagyu?

American Wagyu is purebred Japanese Wagyu crossbred with high-quality American cattle breeds. The result is beef with rich marbling that bastes itself as it cooks, delivering deep beef flavor and exceptional juiciness. In a thin, high-heat cut like the outside skirt, that marbling makes a meaningful difference in the finished bite.
