When you try to cut a chuck roast into steaks, you're essentially trying to turn a braising cut into a grilling cut. It's like trying to put a square peg in a round hole - it just doesn't quite fit. The fibers in a chuck roast are all wrong for a steak, and you'll end up with a tough, chewy piece of meat that's more like shoe leather than a tender steak.
But, that being said, it's not impossible to cut a chuck roast into steaks. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, you can try cutting the roast into thinly sliced steaks, almost like carpaccio. Just be aware that the texture and flavor will be completely different from a traditional steak, and you may need to adjust your cooking technique accordingly.
