WHAT IS GALICIAN CHUCK STEAK? At Basco, we only source the highest quality beef from Galicia in the Northwest of Spain. Our hand diced chuck steak is from our Capricho de Oro Galician beef range. From the fore end of the animal, well marbled and full of flavour chuck steak is perfect for slow braising or stewing in casseroles and curries, Our Galician chuck steak has phenomenal marbling which keeps the beef moist as it cooks. Braised, it is truly unbeatable. Our chuck steak comes from retired Rubia Gallega cows over 10 years old. This type of ageing allows more natural grass-fed marbling of the beef so that its comparable to the marbling of genetically optimised grain-fed US, Japanese and generic Wagyu beef. These older cows are chubbier animals, have a higher percentage fat content and as such have more marbling, giving these beef steaks a distinct and unique flavour. All our Capricho de Oro beef is dry aged for a minimum of 50 days. HOW TO COOK GALICIAN CHUCK STEAK? The perfect way to cook and serve our Capricho de Oro diced chuck steak is to brown it on all sides and slowly braise it in red wine and beef stock for 3 hours. HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY GALICIAN CHUCK STEAK? You will receive one frozen bag of Capricho de Oro diced chuck steak delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the steak straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking. PLEASE NOTE THAT WEIGHTS CAN VARY FROM BAG TO BAG, SO EXPECT A SLIGHT VARIATION ON THE WEIGHT OF YOUR GALICIAN DICED CHUCK STEAK. PLEASE NOTE THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN FROZEN FROM FRESH, SO PLEASE REFER TO THE NEW BASCO USE BY DATE LABEL.

I didn't know what to expect from these but, I feel I've stumbled over something magical. When raw, it looks like there's a lot of fat and sinew so, I was expecting them to be chewy. I was so wrong. Each bite is soft and literally bursting with flavour. I just seasoned and very lightly fried the strips for a few minutes in a pan with some fennel seeds and cut them up into bite-sized pieces. Next time I'll try them on the BBQ. Absolute home run.

Fantastic! We cooked them al la plancha on the BBQ; they only took a couple minutes, still pink in the middle. Yes, it has a bit of a chew, but not at all tough and the texture adds to it. It also doesn't need a marinade or lots of seasoning; in fact in our opinion just some salt and pepper is all they need as the flavour of the pork comes out on its own. As with the pork cheeks, good value as there are only 2 of us, so we divided them and froze the rest - enough for 2 more meals.

A stunning cut of pork, so tender it melts in the mouth. A sprinkle of salt and pepper and 5 - 10 minutes in the frying pan, beautiful. Serve a little pink with a drizzle of olive oil.
