How to Sous Vide Beef Blade Steak

Blade steaks are on the tougher side of steak cuts and while they can be just heated through by thickness (1-3 hours usually) they greatly benefit from increased cooking times of up to 10 hours. I prefer 131°F (55°C) but you can use any standard steak temperature.

About Beef Blade Steak

The blade is the biggest part of the front shoulder of the cow. The shoulder primal cut of the cow where the Blade Roast is from is the chuck primal cut. The beef blade roast is located in front of the ribs and close to the cow's head, just above the brisket.

The blade roast is made up of various muscles and has different degrees of toughness ranging from medium to tough. This is why it is important to cook the meat either sous vide or in liquid so the blade will not be dry and stringy.

You can braise it in the oven or roast the meat in a roasting pan or simply stew it. In general, sous vide or braising are considered the best methods for cooking because it tenderizes the tough meat while keeping it moist.

When selecting a blade roast, pick the one that is cut from the back of the shoulder as it tends to be more tender compared to other cuts. Also when selecting this cut for your lunch or dinner, be sure to choose the one with less connective tissue. This will make it easier to cook.

A blade roast is considered great for making a pot roast. Seasonings like parsley, pepper, garlic, Dijon mustard or shallots complement the blade roast in a traditional manner. However if you are in the mood to try something different, you can try Asian seasoning like soya sauce, citrus zests and ginger.
