KSTEPHENSGreat beef cuts on the cheap
I just got turned on to something called a flat iron steak. the cutter said when cut right its fantastic. i tried it and he was right. wow. hell of a piece of meat for $4 a pound. similar in flavor to a shoulder tender.
A flat iron steak is a flank steak.

Flat iron steak comes out of the shoulder (chuck roast area)...about a 2-1/2 to 3 lb yield per side. Then it is split (to remove a gristle piece) to yield two sorta thin (but excellent) steaks.

calgarychef1It's true they are tender considering where they come from. They seem to lack taste for me though, great as a marinated steak.
