Beef shoulder is a versatile cut of meat with a range of uses. Here are some popular ways to prepare it:

• • Stews and Braises: The beef shoulder is great for slow-cooked dishes. Its marbling makes it ideal for hearty stews, pot roasts, and braises.
• • Roasts: You can roast it in the oven for a flavorful and tender meal. Just season well and cook it slowly to ensure it stays juicy.
• • Ground Beef: The shoulder can be ground for burgers, meatballs, or tacos. It has a good fat-to-meat ratio, which helps keep ground beef moist and flavorful.
• • Stir-fries: Thinly sliced shoulder can be used in stir-fries, where the meat's rich flavor complements the other ingredients.
• • Pulled Beef: Slow-cooking the shoulder until it’s tender enough to shred makes for great pulled beef sandwiches or tacos.
• • Beef Steaks: Though not as tender as more premium cuts, it can be used for steaks when marinated and cooked properly.
• • Soups: Adding shoulder cuts to soups can enrich the broth with a deep, meaty flavor.
