    As a chef, we used to refer to that cut of beef as a blade cut. Chuck is the larger cut, as is shoulder cut. Clod is a roasting cut. I would stick with blade cut and go with the thickness of the cut to define the meat. Of course cuts of meat are called by different names in Europe. As always, another fine dish. I doubt if I will ever set foot over there again. Old, sick and crippled is not good for travel, so I live through your food and vidioes. You are the envy of us in the profession. Looking back, I regret not having the nerve to do what you do. So keep us fed with your superb selections and let us dream of cooking with you in the great outdoors! Cheers, Chef!

    The name for that whole cut is Top Blade in the US. Separated, the steaks are known as Flat Iron Steaks. That whole clod makes a delicious beef when braised, and that center gristle running through it melts into deliciousness. Your recipe was delightful, and as always thank you for all that.

    The blade is a cross- cut section of the flat iron steak. it is taken off of the scapula(shoulder blade), so it is close to the chuck. when breaking down the fore-quarter of a cow the chuck sits right against the outside of the spine along the back ribs. the scapula goes through the chuck. Meaning it is basically a part of chuck but so is flat iron so it’s weird. Hope that helps.

      I did mention it a little while back and the idea caught your eye. It would be a great compendium of your work. I look back through your RUclips clips on your tours through France, Spain and Italy. I see the outline of your book there. Your TV presentation style is perfect transcription to a book format; a story telling style, technique explanation, recipes (and source material which is a sub-story itself), cooking in its regional/local setting, great vision/pics, etc etc. I collect cookbooks (400+) and I can see your book unique and very colourful. The cuisine focus is popular and your recipes not the usual ‘same old’ repeats. I would like to contribute to the development of the draft, it would be fun.

I haven't seen that in beef. Predominantly beef shoulder is chuck, the exception being the chuck eye steak which started appearing in grocery stores about ten years ago. Sadly the foodies caught on and the prices have tripled in the last two years.
