Shoulder Center Steak

Ranch steak, or shoulder grill steak, is a moderately tender cut of beef. We suggest serving it whole or sliced.

This steak can be substitued for chuck roast in some recipes, such as our Milanese Braised Beef, or for top sirloin in recipes such as Sirloin Steaks with Mushroom Sauce and Chive-Garlic Potatoes.
