What is a Cross Rib Steak? It is a very flavorful steak cut from the chuck. Its flavor easily rivals that of a ribeye, which is not surprising considering that the location of the cut on the beef is above the ribs, as is the ribeye. The difference is that the cross rib is located further forward on the beef.

The cross rib steak, also known as a shoulder steak, neighbors the chuck. Although more tough than some of our other cuts, the unique tenderness of the beef allows the cross rib to be enjoyed like other high end steaks. Or prepare it like you would your average beef with a marinade and slow cook and you’ll be in for the cross rib of your life!
