Blade Steak

A specialty cut of meat taken from the shoulder primal cut of beef, pork, lamb, and veal. It is generally cut as a roast, but can also be sliced into 3/4 inch thick steaks. When sliced approximately 1/4 inch thick, it is referred to as "bistec del siete" in Spanish or seven steak, referring to the resemblance of the bone to the number seven.
