About Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean only, cooked, braised
Braised Boston butt blade steaks, lean only, are considerably fattier after cooking than the raw lean-trimmed weight suggests. Some intramuscular fat renders during braising but stays in the meat rather than dripping away. The result is protein-rich and moderately fatty pork with deep, savory flavor from the braising process. Shoulder meat handles slow, moist cooking far better than loin cuts at this level of leanness.
