Why You’ll Like It
Remember the first time I tried a chuckwagon steak—something about that smoky, melt-in-your-mouth bite had me hooked. Here’s why I think you’ll love it too:
- Budget. The chuck eye roll cut used in this recipe is affordable compared to other premium steak cuts, making it a budget-friendly option without compromising on taste.
- Steak Lovers: Juicy, bold flavors that really let the beef shine. No fancy marinades needed!
- Rustic: Feels like a mini escape to the wild west (even if it’s just the backyard grill).
- Simple but Satisfying: Just a few ingredients and steps. Easy to make, but every bite delivers.
For The Perfect Chuckwagon Steak
- Resting Time: Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly and results in a juicier final product.
- Temperature Control: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steaks reach your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature for medium-rare is around 130°F (54°C), medium is around 140°F (60°C), and medium-well is around 150°F (65°C).
- Searing: Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or a preheated grill for optimal searing.
- Smoked Chuckwagon Steak: Try smoking your chuckwagon steak on a smoker or grill. This one’s a bit more advanced but totally worth it if you’re a fan of smoked meats!
