The flat iron does not get enough credit.
Cut from the top blade, it sits just below the tenderloin in tenderness. Good marbling throughout. Clean beef flavor. A 7 to 9 oz steak that holds up on the grill, in a cast iron, or under the broiler without needing much help.
It is a working cut. Lean enough to feel like a smart choice, flavorful enough to not need a sauce.

Cooking notes
Cook to 130 to 135 degrees for medium rare. Rest 5 to 10 minutes, then slice against the grain. That slice matters on this cut; it is the difference between tender and chewy.

FAQs
How tender is flat iron, really?
It is the second most tender cut on the steer, after the tenderloin itself, which is remarkable for a cut from the chuck. It stayed a butcher's secret for years because it takes extra work to cut it cleanly.
What is flat iron best for?
Steak night first. After that, it slices beautifully for fajitas, steak salads, and sandwiches.
How should I slice it?
Against the grain, in thin slices. The grain is easy to see on a flat iron, and cutting across it shortens the fibers so every bite eats tender.
How does it ship, and how do I store it?
It ships frozen in insulated packaging and keeps in your freezer until the day before you cook it. Shipping is free on orders of $249 or more, and on orders of $149.99 or more in Texas and Oklahoma.
