Meat

Blade

Goat blade is the scapula region of the shoulder—bone-in or boneless cuts with good flavour and moderate connective tissue. It suits braising, slow roasting, and thick stews; thin steaks can grill if marinated and not overcooked. The bone adds savour when left in. Brown thoroughly, then cook moist until the meat yields. Shred for tacos and sandwiches or slice for plated braises. Value cut with real depth of taste.
