blade roast

Chuck's flatter neighbor

A blade roast is a cut of beef from the shoulder (chuck) area, named for the blade bone running through it.

It's flavorful but contains connective tissue that requires slow cooking methods like braising or pot roasting to become tender: She put the blade roast in the Dutch oven with vegetables and wine.
