  1. It is the Denver cut of the chuck. Typically marbled well. Not Wagyu. Just Chuck-yu

    Finally. A post with actual steatosis.

    It’s not Wagyu, it’s basically scar tissue from the cow being injured in that spot. Usually will be rough and chewy.

    Publix sourced. Only use is a crock pot.

  4. Waygu is a cow not a cut or grade.

    That’s a denver cut of the chuck roast.

    Chuck eye steak, fantastic if it’s still soft

  6. The well marbled part of the Chuck is the Denver steak. When Its like this, I like to but It and separate the Denver for steak and the rest for stew

    That is the Denver steak. Not the most tender but very tasty. As a roast it’s unreal.

  8. So, what’s the consensus? Is the bottom, smaller well-marbled piece the Denver? Or is it the larger, less marbled piece on top of that?

    That’s a chuck eye with steatosis. Not gonna make a good steak but would do fine in a crock pot

  10. Please keep us updated!! The steatosis debate in here is great! Idk what’s what but it seems like even if it is steatosis and it’s soft it’s still good? Or it’s steatosis and it’s shit either way hard or soft?
