Meat lovers really appreciate this lesser known cut of beef. Unbelievably good cooked long and slow - perfect for a dead-slow braising ragu.
Feather Blade of Beef (also sometimes referred to as Featherblade Steak) is a long flat muscle found in the beef shoulder, tucked in just by the shoulder blade. There is a long line of connective tissue running through the centre which after slow braising, becomes soft and gelatinous. This gives a really wonderful texture to the meat and creates a delicious gravy.
Beef Feather Blade is great for a really slow braise or pot roast, as it holds its shape when cooking. So it’s great for stews and casseroles.
Cut from our heritage breed, pasture-fed Suffolk beef, the Featherblade steak is rich with marbling and full of flavour. Although it's great in a slow cook, it also makes a good searing steak – it’s quite unusual and specialist, and meat-lovers will appreciate this.
Allow 200g-300g per person.

Gerard's Suggestion
Our beef comes from trusted local Suffolk farms, carefully selected for their dedication to quality and sustainable practices. We work closely with farmers like Emily Winter, who slowly matures her 100% grass-fed Lincoln Red herd at Darrow Farm to produce exceptional beef, and the Somerleyton Estate, known for its regeneratively raised Welsh Black and Highland cattle. We are also proud to partner with Natasha Mann, whose award-winning Lincoln Reds graze by the River Alde’s lush meadows, yielding beautifully marbled, rich, and tender beef. Receiving whole carcasses allows us to hang the meat for 4 - 8 weeks (or more by request), ensuring superior flavour and texture.
