Clod Heart

Alt Names: RANCH STEAK, EYE OF CHUCK, CHUCK POT ROAST

French : Cœur de pointe d’épaule | Spanish: Centro de paleta

THE BASICS & BEYOND

Clod heart is a flavourful and tender cut from the heart of the shoulder clod (chuck primal). This economical cut is lean and can be slow cooked using moist heat. Many prepare it as they would a pot roast or brisket.

Dave Cuntz, Sterling Silver Signature Chef

“Why do I use Sterling Silver? Because when you want the best beef, you get the best beef.”

The clod heart and clod roast are quite versatile: roasts, thin cut meats, cube them for stews or grind them into fresh ground beef. Removing the connective tissue and tenderizing improves the end result dramatically.

Sharing Among Chefs: A Fellowship of Flavour

Even though most chefs find themselves competing against other chefs for the eyes and taste buds of customers, they tend to share a unique fellowship based on a common love of food and its ability to excite, please and satisfy. This bond of culinary inspiration is why many chefs are quick to share their time and perspectives, whether it’s participating in industry events, working with suppliers, exchanging insights through foodservice media or just having a friendly conversation about the newest food trends.
