Blade Roast

Store raw roast tightly wrapped in its original packaging or plastic wrap/foil. Once cooked, store leftovers in an airtight container.

For maximum tenderness, slice against the grain. Look for the direction of the muscle fibers and cut perpendicular to them.

Don't overcook it! Blade roast is best served medium-rare to medium. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.

Marinating can further enhance flavor and tenderness, especially if you plan to grill or broil.

Slicing with the grain, which can result in a tougher bite.

Cooking past medium, as this cut can become dry and less enjoyable.
