Choosing the right steak for your budget and recipe can be complex. A lesser-known cut, the oyster blade steak, offers a flavorful and affordable alternative to expensive cuts.

The oyster blade steak, cut from the shoulders of the steer, is an affordable, delicious, and versatile cut favored for its beefy taste and suitability for various recipes.

Due to its connective tissue, it's ideal for barbecue, which benefits from slow cooking, but you can also grill this cut by cutting it into small pieces.
