It typically stays fresh for 3 to 5 days when kept at 40°F (4°C) or below.
What does the 'Select' grade mean for this steak?
Select is a USDA grade indicating the meat is leaner with less marbling than Choice or Prime grades, making it slightly tougher but lower in calories.
Can I freeze chuck shoulder steak?

What is the best way to tenderize this cut?
Using an acidic marinade (vinegar, citrus, or yogurt) or slow-cooking in liquid are the most effective ways to tenderize chuck shoulder.
Is chuck shoulder steak good for grilling?
It can be grilled if marinated first and not overcooked; however, it is naturally tougher than ribeye or strip steaks.
What are good substitutes for chuck shoulder steak?
Chuck roast, bottom round steak, or tri-tip are suitable alternatives depending on the cooking method.
How should I cut the steak after cooking?
