Top Blade Roast
$78 4.75-5.25 lbs / Ships Frozen
You're unlikely to find the Top Blade Roast anywhere else, unless you visit the award-winning LeRoy & Lewis in Austin, TX. Also known as a Lifter Roast or Flat Iron Roast, the Top Blade Roast is a cut from the beef shoulder or the chuck. Since our cattle have room to roam out on pasture, their muscles are able to develop, meaning more flavor in the final product. As LeRoy & Lewis say, think "brisket but beefier".
Typically, the Top Blade Roast is included as part of the seven bone roast, or broken down into Flat Iron steaks. As whole animal butchers, we are able to block and cut our beef in a very specific way to maximize the beef, producing this cut as well as other butcher cuts.
This product will be cut to order - please allow up to 2 weeks for shipment.

Cooking Notes
You will want to cook the Top Blade Roast slow and low. The connective tissue in the middle of the cut will take a long time to break down but by keeping the cooking temperature low you minimize the moisture loss on the meat. Season and smoke the Top Blade Roast like you would a brisket.
Not just a piece of meat
Great flavor starts in the field. At Porter Road, we partner with farmers who raise their animals on pasture, for a difference you can taste.
