Blade steak or Chuck steak for making Casseroles?

Which one would be the better one for making a Casserole? Or are they both pretty much the same. Will be cooking it in the Crock pot, so hopefully it will come out nice and tender.

For the crock pot both will be tender..blade remains whole in the cube.......where as chuck breaks up nicely when you put a fork to it..........I personally prefer chuck.......

I think the best is Cross Cut Blade.

Cross cut blade or beef cheek.

Cross cut blade is my favourite for both casseroles and braised steak.It just falls to bits and seems to have a much nicer flavour.

I'm in the whats on special camp too. Last week it was rump which makes a nice quick stew this week its Chuck which can spend all day in the slow cooker. Beef cheeks sounds good will keep eye out for those.
