Twyla, demonstrating unconditional love – no, not for me, for the box that once enclosed my new Pampered Chef stoneware miniloaf baker.

Blade Steak

 

I never bought these things until I made the Cooks’ Illustrated carbonnade a couple of weeks ago. As usual, they tested several meats and decided this cut was the best – nicely larded, flavorful, and able to withstand a couple of hours in a braise without falling apart. You remove the gristle by cutting along one side of it with a chef’s knife, then along the other. This leaves two strips of steak that are just begging to be cubed. At about $4.00 a pound (and like oxtail, never on sale), it’s no bargain, but it’s still going into a batch of chili today. This chili will not be purist Texas-style; there will be tomatoes and beans galore. Hmmm…there’s something vaguely familiar about that steak on the upper left, but I can’t quite place it.
