Morphology
The noun-noun compound combines 'blade' (a shoulder-derived cut of meat) with 'roast' (a cut of meat prepared for roasting), so the meaning—a roast taken from the blade/shoulder—is directly compositional from its parts. This is a common descriptive naming pattern cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Blade roast comes from the meat near the animal's blade (the shoulder) and the word roast, a 'cut' cooked slowly in the oven. So blade roast today means the shoulder 'cut' meant for roasting.
