The beef top blade steak (also known as the chicken steak, esp. on the Northeast Coast of the US) comes from the chuck section of a steer or heifer.
The steaks are cross-cut from the top blade subprimal, also known as Infraspinatus. [1] It is becoming more popular and profitable to abstain from cross cutting the top blade and instead produce flat iron steaks which is cut with the grain and eliminates the connective tissue ( fascia) that runs down the middle of this steak.
