What Is Chuck Pork?
Chuck pork refers to a cut of pork meat that comes from the shoulder of a pig. This is a heavily exercised muscle area, making it relatively tough. Chuck pork is often used in slow-cooking dishes, such as stews and braises, as the long cooking process can help to break down the tough muscle fibers, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. It can also be sliced into steaks and grilled or pan-fried.
