  Info: Even though cranberries are a staple for Thanksgiving sauces they are often overlooked for more traditional sauces.

  Info: Use sous vide to serve great meals around a busy schedule. One of the ways sous vide can do this is by taking a traditionally difficult meal and making it very easy. For most people, doing a BBQ brisket during the busy work week is impossible because there is no time to smoke and grill it for hours. Using sous vide for the brisket allows you to prep and bag the brisket in 10 minutes when you have time. Then a few days before you want to eat simply put it in the water bath and forget about it. Once it's cooked you quickly sear the sous vided brisket and you're all ready to eat. Smokey Sous Vide Brisket Recipe

Description of Blade Roast

The blade is the biggest part of the front shoulder of the cow. The shoulder primal cut of the cow where the Blade Roast is from is the chuck primal cut. The beef blade roast is located in front of the ribs and close to the cow's head, just above the brisket.

The blade roast is made up of various muscles and has different degrees of toughness ranging from medium to tough. This is why it is important to cook the meat in liquid or the blade will be dry and stringy. You can braise it in the oven or roast the meat in a roasting pan or simply stew it. In general, braising is considered the best method for cooking because it tenderizes the tough meat while keeping it moist.

When selecting a blade roast, pick the one that is cut from the back of the shoulder as it tends to be more tender compared to other cuts. Also when selecting this cut for your lunch or dinner, be sure to choose the one with less connective tissue. This will make it easier to cook.

A blade roast is considered great for making a pot roast. Seasonings like parsley, pepper, garlic, Dijon mustard or shallots complement the blade roast in a traditional manner. However if you are in the mood to try something different, you can try Asian seasoning like soya sauce, citrus zests and ginger.
