Beef Chuck Center Roast tested: Surprising value in USDA Choice… Read more

We recently purchased the "Beef Chuck Center Roast, Boneless, USDA Choice" hoping for quality without breaking the bank, and we were pleasantly surprised. The weight varied slightly from our order, but the meat’s marbling and firm texture were undeniably premium. Thinly sliced and slow-roasted, the roast developed a rich, savory crust while remaining moist inside. The flavor was robust yet balanced, with none of the thinness or toughness we sometimes expect in lower-grade cuts. Paired with a straightforward herb gravy, it was a meal that felt both special and economical. For us, this roast delivered on taste and affordability, proving that USDA Choice can be a great choice without the steep price tag.
