Top Blade Roast

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 to block and cut our beef in a very specific way to maximize the beef, producing this cut as well as other butcher cuts.
