TypeChuck cut of beef

The beef top blade steak (also known as the chicken steak) comes from the chuck section of a steer or heifer.

Description

Raw blade steak, showing the gristly fascia membrane down the middle

The steaks are cross-cut from the top blade subprimal, the infraspinatus.[1] The same muscle cut with the grain gives flat iron steaks, which do not have the connective tissue (fascia) that runs down the middle of the blade steak.
