The Chuck Mock Tender muscle is responsible for the locomotion of the front leg, which results in a tough, firm cut. The Mock-Tender name is deceptive because it’s not a tender cut at all! The Mock-Tender’s attribute is its rich flavor and resilient texture, perfect when used raw for steak tartar and beef Carpaccio. This muscle yields two pieces of about 2.5 lbs each.
