So one of my favorite butchers sends me the weekly specials by email.  One cut is Prime Casino Roast(aged for 21 days) for $4.98 lb.  Anybody know what the heck that is?  I'm thinking at $4.98/lb for prime it might be worth trying.

Should be a shoulder clod, probably in the 5-8 pound range.

Was in the local Cash&Carry here and noticed a a lot of big boxes of shoulder clods. Just what do you do with them?

A whole clod usually runs about 15+ pounds.  Don't think I've ever seen one served outside of Texas but I guess it's been "discovered" - sorta like tri-tips.  Treat it pretty much the same as you would a brisket EXCEPT that the clod is usually a lot leaner so you might have to do something to add fat/moisture.  I think Kreuz Market used to rest theirs in a pan of tallow before serving but I'd probably stick with using bacon fat, butter or the like as a topping or mop while smoking/roasting.  I'd go for an IT of 190-195o (slightly higher than brisket) and slice across the grain.

Let us know how it turns out.

In my area, during the spring/summer months Sam's Club often carries beef clod. It is the whole shoulder and they generally average over 20 pounds. I haven't purchase one yet, but often been tempted to do so.
