I thought I ordered a roast but when delivered I saw it was 4lbs of Chuck steak...okay I'll work with. I treated like a roast. Cut my potatoes, green bell peppers and cauliflower . I added 1 pack of baby carrots and big chopped 2 LG Vidalia onions. I seasoned the veggies with 5 cloves of garlic (smashed) 1 bay leaf and seasoned salt and black pepper. I added the steaks on top of veggies. Seasoned with seasoned salt, 1 pack Lipton onion soup mix and 1 bay leaf.

I marinaded all day. Maybe next time I would use a little less liquid smoke and a little less brown sugar. The steak tasted too sweet for me but other wise was good and tender. I put my steak under the broiler for about 6-7 minutes. It turned out rare just the way I like it. <br/>Made for chef alphabet soup.

Loved this! I did not use as much liquid smoke due to personal preference. I like my steaks medium to medium-rare, and cooked the roast 7 minutes on each side. With that cooking time, my steaks were more medium-rare. The taste was just like a "real" steak. Thanks for sharing!

Very tasty. Would add to let it come to room temp before grilling, if it is a large cut. Took a long time to reach temp inside, and a bit of the outside got hard. But overall, well-liked at our house. On the mild side, but lovely smokey flavor.

This really does result in a tender steak. I would reduce the amount of liquid smoke as a personal preference.
