About Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean only, raw
Boston butt blade steaks, raw and trimmed to lean, are a surprisingly workable cut for weeknight cooking once the exterior fat is removed. Protein is moderate, fat is low for a shoulder cut, and the meat has enough collagen and texture to stand up to a quick braise or even pan-frying with a good sear. Far more affordable than loin cuts with a stronger flavor to match.
