Beer Braised Chuck Steak & Veggies
Chuck Steak comes from the front of the animal, and is generally a lean cut. It does best prepared 'low and slow,' and we love the way it tastes with this dark beer braise. This recipe, adapted from Rachel Ray, can be done in either the oven or a slow cooker, and takes just over 2 hours from start to finish. Enjoy!
