Cajun Seven (7) Steak

A common Cajun dish is smothered 7 steaks. Cooked very simply with very browned onions, garlic, bell pepper, and generally served with hot cooked rice. The seven-bone or center chuck gets its name from its bone, which is shaped like the number seven. This steak lends itself well to braising.
Many large supermarkets no longer offer the bone-in seven steaks; only the local slaughter houses offer these.
