Sherry and Chili Chuck Steak Marinade
Chuck steak requires a steak marinade to make it tender. This cut comes from the shoulder of a cow and it is fatty and tough, which means it is better to either braise it in a liquid or marinate it before you cook it. The following recipe is good for about three and a half pounds of chuck steak and you can serve the finished steaks hot with mashed potatoes or serve it cold in a sandwich.
The mustard and chili add some spiciness to this marinade and because you are going to use the marinade to baste the meat, the flavor will be full-on so feel free to decrease the amount of mustard or chili if you are not keen on spicy meat dishes.
