What is a Beef Brick Roast?
The Beef Brick Roast is a rectangular, uniform cut of beef typically taken from the chuck primal or the shoulder section of the cow. It is a well-marbled, moderately lean cut known for its deep, beefy flavor and tender texture when cooked properly.
This cut gets its name from its distinctive brick-like shape, which makes it easy to slice and serve. It is a highly sought-after roast in kosher cooking and is often used in slow-cooked dishes due to its rich marbling and connective tissue that breaks down into a melt-in-your-mouth texture when braised.
