A blade roast, also known as a chuck roast, is a flavorful cut of beef that comes from the shoulder area of the animal. It’s known for its rich taste and marbling, making it a popular choice for pot roasts and slow cooking. The next time you’re inspired to make Beef Bourguignon, we have you covered with this beautiful Blade roast brought to you by Hopcott Farms located in beautiful British Columbia.

COOKING TIP: The blade roast is the perfect cut for slow cooking, offering minimal effort and maximum flavor. Start by removing the roast from its packaging and lightly coating it with olive oil. Season generously with garlic, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, allowing the natural flavors to shine. For an extra depth of flavor, sear the roast in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, creating a beautifully browned crust. This step seals in the juices and adds richness to the final dish. Next, transfer the roast to your slow cooker and pour in 1 cup of beef broth, followed by the chopped onion. Set the slow cooker to low and let the roast cook for 3-4 hours, or until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender. For optimal results, baste the roast with its own juices every hour to ensure maximum tenderness and flavor infusion.
