Twice a year my company participates in food shows. This is great for me as employees can buy from the broken boxes.
A relatively new item is Texas Wagyu Chuck Flap Tail Pieces, a by-product of trimming the Chuck Tail Flap. At half the price I jumped at the chance to buy a pack. Came in at around 9 lb for the pack.
This is a versatile cut from the shoulder close to where Chuck Short Ribs are from. It can be grilled, roasted, braised, Tartare, etc… l pan-fried and braised. Pan frying I preferred Medium as opposed to Medium-rare.
Braised with Carrots, Celery, Onion, Tomato Paste, Red Wine, Chicken Broth, Garlic, Herbs, Spices. Classic and Delicious.

For those who don’t know you want to find the chuck piece with the most streaky fat, a cut in the streaks turn into spots and it’s not as good.

I have a piece of chuck in the freezer now, i should do something with that hehe
