At my neighborhood Kroger store they sometimes call it "Charcoal Steak" and sometimes the label is "Chuck Top Blade". I think in some parts of the country they call it Flat Iron Steak. I think it's very tasty and tender, except for the gristle in the middle, and has much less fat than most other good cuts. I guess I need to be a bit selfish and keep quiet about it, because the Kroger store often sells it (USDA Choice) for $2.69 per pound and on sale for $1.89. When I see it I go for it like a duck on a Junebug -- got a lot of it in the freezer now.
Its a neck cut. Back in my butcher days we had some fancy names for the poorer cuts. I always prefered a good sirloin.
