Need beef shoulder braise recipe

Searched and couldn’t find a thread. Anyone have a thread handy? Or know what I could search? I know @nolaegghead has mentioned doing them but I searched his threads and didn’t see anything. And he has like a million. Thx for any ideas in advance

    As in the chuck? That could be anything. The entire chuck would weigh over 70#. In any case, to braise any cut of chuck, I always go old school French. Sear,(rest) onions and mushrooms, garlic, deglaze with dry red wine, back in with the beef, rest of the wine, beef consume. 275 for six to ten hours.

    FWIW

    @lkapigian shoulder roast

    @dharley not chuck. It’s tougher than chuck. Chucks I just smoke for pulled beef. Can’t remember what others call this cut. It’s known by some other names if I remember right.

    Are you thinking of a clod? I do not have a recipe, but if so I know @SGH has done several of them.

    My understanding is the shoulder (clod) is a subset of chuck. A shoulder roast is a trimmed subset of shoulder. It should be labeled as Beef Chuck, Shoulder Roast.
