Blonde d'Aquitaine blade steak

Blonde d'Aquitaine blade steak is a classic in Dutch cuisine. The cut comes from the shoulder of the cow and is recognizable by the tendon running through it. During stewing, the tendon slowly turns into gelatin, making the blade tenderloin melt-in-the-mouth after hours of simmering and allowing it to fully absorb the flavors of the sauce. The result is a deep and rich stew that is perfect for the colder months, but is actually a great choice all year round.

What is a blade steak?

A blade steak is cut from the shoulder of the cow. Because this part of the animal gets a lot of exercise, the meat has a firm structure. This makes it ideal for dishes that require long cooking times. The connective tissue in the tendon melts during stewing, creating a soft and full texture. blade steaks absorb flavors well from broth, wine, or spicy sauces, making them ideal for stews with depth. Classic pulled beef is therefore often made from blade.
