Description

The Flat Iron Steak (also called a top blade steak) is cut from the area just behind the shoulder. Each shoulder yields two flat iron steaks, which are connected by a band of dense connective tissue. Flat iron steak is surprisingly one of the more tender cuts of meat.

Cooking advice: Flat iron steak does great marinated (like many steaks). It is also wonderful on the grill and can be essentially prepared like other steaks would be. As usual, avoid overcooking as it tends to turn the meat stringy and dry. Flat iron is also good cut into strips for fajitas and stir fry.

This steak is now available in grass finished or grain finished.

“All cattle were raised utilizing intensive grazing methods to increase soil health and create a sustainable ecology on our ranches. We are very proud of our animal husbandry utilizing low stress livestock handling techniques.
