What you want in oyster blade beef

On the hunt for exceptional oyster blade beef? To obtain the best culinary results, you need to start with an outstanding butcher. Here at Peter Bouchier, we consider ourselves to be butchers of distinction. Our grass-fed oyster blade beef comes directly from leading Victorian and NSW farms with the most exacting standards, as do all our beef cuts. We believe that by partnering with the best suppliers, working with a highly skilled team and pursuing excellence in everything we do, we can provide the best tasting oyster beef in Melbourne.

Popular for cooking low and slow on the BBQ, our oyster blade beef stays moist by slowly breaking down the delicate marbling of fat throughout the muscle. It's equally at home being served up as a delicious and budget-friendly medium-rare steak. The world really is your oyster with this cut of beef!

If you're looking to buy oyster blade beef, here are our tips for what to look for:

  • Choose oyster blade that shows decent amounts of marbling throughout. Intramuscular fat will ensure the meat stays moist and juicy when cooking  
  • Seek out a cut with good red colouring and a solid texture.
  • Fat should be white. Discoloured fat may be an indication that the beef cut is not fresh.
  • Support local when you can.
  • Grass-fed may be more expensive than grain-fed beef but is generally considered healthier, lower in fat and lower in calories.
