Panqa-Brushed Chuck Steak with Everything Bagel Seasoning (Oven-Finished Medium Rare)

If you think beef chuck can’t be tender, juicy, and packed with flavor — this recipe will change your mind. By searing the steak first, brushing it with Panqa sauce, and finishing it in the oven with everything bagel seasoning, you get a bold, savory, and slightly spicy steak that eats like a premium cut.

This method is simple, restaurant-style, and perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests without overcomplicating things.

Why Beef Chuck Works for This Recipe

Chuck steak is known for deep beefy flavor. When cooked properly, it can be incredibly satisfying — especially when paired with a sauce that enhances rather than overpowers it.

Panqa brings:

• Aji amarillo warmth
• Aji panca smokiness
• Balanced acidity and richness

The result is a steak that’s flavorful edge-to-edge, with a crust that seals everything in.

Ingredients

• Beef chuck steak
• Panqa sauce
• Everything bagel seasoning
• Salt (optional, Panqa already adds seasoning)
• Neutral oil (avocado or olive oil)

How to Cook Panqa Chuck Steak (Step-by-Step)

1. Sear the Steak

• Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil. Sear the chuck steak on both sides until a deep golden-brown crust forms. This locks in flavor and builds texture.

2. Brush with Panqa

• Once seared, generously brush Panqa sauce over the steak. Make sure the surface is fully coated — this is where the magic happens.

3. Season with Everything Bagel

• Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning directly onto the Panqa-coated steak. The mix of sesame seeds, garlic, onion, and salt creates an incredible contrast with the sauce’s Peruvian chiles.

4. Finish in the Oven

• Transfer the steak to the oven and cook until it reaches medium rare. This gentle finish keeps the meat juicy while allowing the Panqa to caramelize slightly.

5. Rest and Slice

• Let the steak rest before slicing. This keeps the juices inside and ensures every bite is tender.

What Makes This Steak Different

• Bold but balanced — spicy, savory, and rich without being overpowering
• Affordable cut, elevated flavor
• Perfect crust + juicy center
• Restaurant-quality results at home

Panqa acts as both a sauce and a glaze, replacing the need for complicated marinades or butter basting.

Serving Ideas

• Slice and serve with roasted vegetables
• Pair with rice or potatoes to soak up the juices
• Serve family-style on a cutting board with extra Panqa on the side

This steak also works great for meal prep — the flavor holds up beautifully.

Cook Better Steak with Panqa
