Chuck roast is a popular choice for pot roasts since it’s so affordable and easily found in most grocery stores. It’s a lean meat with lots of connective tissue and very little fat. You’ll want to look for a chuck roast that has lots of marbling throughout. When this cut of meat is braised for a long time, the high amount of collagen breaks down and tenderizes the meat. This makes the meat super juicy, tender, and delicious!
