Riverina Angus - Australian - Black Angus Oyster Blade. MB2+ Grain-Fed 150 Days. [ Greg's Birthday ]

The oyster blade is a shoulder cut defined by its central seam — once separated, it produces flat iron steaks, but left intact it offers more flexibility for roasting, braising, or portioning.

This Riverina Black Angus version sits at MB2+ with a 150-day grain-fed program, placing it in the balanced range. There’s enough marbling to keep the meat moist, but it still behaves like a true working cut — slightly firmer, more structured, and reliant on proper cooking technique.

Why this cut stands out:

* Oyster Blade (Top Blade): Versatile cut that can be split into flat irons or cooked whole
* MB2+ Marbling: Moderate fat level for balanced juiciness and structure
* 150-Day Grain-Fed: Improves consistency without pushing into heavy richness

Product Details:

* Cut: Oyster Blade (Top Blade)
* Marbling: MB2+
* Feeding: 150-day grain-fed

Cooking Suggestions:

* For steaks: separate along the seam, then cook hot and fast
* For roasting/braising: low and slow to break down connective tissue
* Medium-rare only works if properly trimmed into flat iron
* Always slice against the grain for best texture

This is a practical, mid-range oyster blade — not overly rich, but reliable, versatile, and well-suited to both steak prep and slow cooking.
