Most grocery stores have all their beef roasts just labeled….”beef roast”. So, when a customer comes to our Ranch Store or sees our options online, it can feel a bit overwhelming! A top clod shoulder roast has a thicker strip of fat that can often be intimidating to budding chefs. That fat, though, just adds so much flavor to the meal and makes for a great dinner option! We love including this roast in our Farm Club Family Staples boxes because of its great flavor and ability to stretch a meal a little farther.
