A butcher clued me into it decades ago. Find a bone-in 7-bone chuck
roast that is 3 muscles, two of them are tough and one is tender.
Look for the 7-bone with the largest eye. It's the same concept as
Porterhouse (which has a portion of the tenderloin) and t-bone (which
has an ever shrinking filet until there is none).
