These are the Our Farm Angus Beef Oyster Blade Steaks from the Australian Meat Emporium. We thoroughly enjoyed the Oyster Blade Steaks MB3-4+ and were eager to purchase more, only to find that the previous option was unavailable. Instead, we encountered this alternative, lacking a marbling rating, albeit at a slightly higher price per kilogram.
We prepared the 530g portion of meat using the identical marinade and cooking technique applied to the Oyster Blade Steaks MB3-4+.
The result: perfectly cooked steaks, achieving a medium-rare doneness. The meat retained its remarkable tenderness, juiciness, and flavour profile. However, owing to the lower marbling rating, these steaks had a slightly lower richness in flavour. Additionally, they contained more noticeable gristle, which posed a slight inconvenience during consumption compared to the marbled cuts. Nevertheless, this issue was manageable by carefully trimming the gristle. Overall, despite these nuances, this cut remains a favourable option for its tenderness and robust beefy taste.
These Our Farm Angus Beef Oyster Blade Steaks were purchased from Australian Meat Emporium at 29/31 O’Riordan St, Alexandria NSW 2015 in 2024.
