Top Blade Roast

$78 4.5-5 lbs / Ships Fresh

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 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 1-2 weeks for shipment.

What's
In It?

This cut comes from the chuck or the top shoulder of the beef. This is a hard working area that develops tons of great flavor.

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.
