Flat Iron Steak

About

Flat Iron Steak is a tender and flavorful cut of beef, known for its robust beef flavor and versatility in cooking methods. It originates from the shoulder area of the cow, specifically the top blade muscle, which is carefully trimmed to remove tough connective tissue, resulting in a lean and tender steak. The natural marbling enhances its flavor and juiciness, making it suitable for various cooking techniques such as grilling, pan-searing, or sous vide. The flat iron steak is highly regarded for its balance of tenderness and flavor, often compared to more expensive cuts like ribeye or strip steak. It is a budget-friendly option that offers excellent value without compromising on quality. Its uniform thickness allows for even cooking, and it is best served when cooked to medium-rare to preserve its tenderness. Whether served on its own or used in dishes like tacos or salads, the flat iron steak provides a delicious and satisfying dining experience.
