CHB PRODUCTS TO CHOOSE FROM |
-
CHB Clod Tender – 1 Case (60 pounds) - The clod tender, also known as the petite tender, is a small, tender muscle found within the shoulder clod (chuck) of beef. It’s similar in size and texture to a pork tenderloin and is commonly used for grilling, roasting or slicing into medallions. This cut is one of two sub-primals in the chuck and is located between the chuck roll and the brisket.
-
CHB Ball Tip Sirloin – 1 Case (60 pounds - The ball tip steak or roast is a lean, flavorful cut from the bottom sirloin, specifically the "ball tip" section. While less tender than the top sirloin, it remains highly versatile. Ball tip is often marinated and grilled, or sliced thin for sandwiches and stir-fries. This boneless cut is ideal for stir-frying, grilling, roasting, smoking, or stewing.
-
CHB Ground Chuck – 50 Pounds - Ground chuck is versatile and flavorful, maintaining its shape well during cooking. It is an excellent choice for burgers, tacos, and meatballs.
