Flat iron steak is one of the most underrated steaks on the animal.
Known for its excellent marbling, rich beef flavor, and surprising tenderness, the flat iron has become a favorite among butchers, chefs, and serious steak lovers alike.
These steaks are cut thick at 1.25 inches, giving them a hearty steakhouse feel while still cooking beautifully over high heat.
Flat irons do especially well on the grill or in a cast iron skillet and are best served medium-rare to medium with a hard sear and a simple seasoning of salt and pepper.
