Cut from the shoulder, it's one of the more tender cuts on the animal despite coming from a hardworking muscle. Rich flavor, good marbling.
Grill it over medium-high heat, about 4β5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Pan-sear it in cast iron with butter. Let it rest 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Versatile cut, great as a simple steak dinner, sliced thin for fajitas or tacos, or cut into strips for stir-fries.
The flat iron comes from the top blade of the shoulder. Remove the tough center sinew and what's left is one of the most tender cuts on the whole animal. From cattle raised on pasture.
Good marbling, clean beef flavor, satisfying bite.

Keep frozen until ready to use for up to 12 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or quick thaw in a bowl of cold water if you're in a hurry (just keep it in the sealed package). Keep thawed flat iron steak in the fridge for 1-2 days, or refreeze immediately if not using.
