ThreeDJ16 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Mmm, sure wish I had been cooking these instead of ribeyes years ago. Man, that was one delicious cut of beef. Very intense beef flavor, which is also why I love skirt steak too. Also been using a new steak season that is fantastic. Have used there white/black pepper and salt for years. They also have a killer olive oil dipping spice too. http://www.c-els.com/sfCatalog.asp?sn=E ... chid=63590 -=Jasen=- FYI, the pic does it no justice. Was cooked to medium, but this pics looks more med-well.
primeats Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Fast becoming my favorite cut! Not too expensive and versatile(stirfry,stroganoff, etc.)
Chunkylover77 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Looks awesome DJ. I will have to try this out as Ribeyes are just too expensive when your on a budget.
johnnyboy Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I never heard of a Flat Iron Steak before. What cut is it? Almost looks like skirt steak I use for fajitas/burritos. Used to be a cheap cut of meat, not highly sought, but have watched it increase more and more popular/expensive. Looks great. If truth be known the best beef flavor is probably in chuck.
TheNakedWhiz Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Check out this thread on the Primo forum and look for Ask-A-Butcher's post. It is from the chuck. Really good eating. My local Harris Teeter doesn't carry them, but the butcher said he knew what they were and would cut me some next time he had a whole chuck to cut up.
ThreeDJ16 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Posted March 25, 2008 I never heard of a Flat Iron Steak before. What cut is it? Almost looks like skirt steak I use for fajitas/burritos. It is much thicker than skirt steak, but almost as tender. The grain structure is up and down verses the side to side on skirt steak too. But a very nice steak indeed. -=Jasen=-
trish Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 It has been popular here in Calif for a few years. Black Angus used to feature it on their menu for $8 or $9 and it was a steal. Then the cut started getting popular and they removed it from the menu. My first time with it was a very memorable meal. It was cooked to perfection and served sliced around a mound of black truffle risotto. It was a Sat nite special at a local restaurant, and I have seen never that restaurant feature it again. When I purchased it at a local grocery store, I did not care for their version of the cut. They cut it too thin and small.
DavidS Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Have been cooking them for a couple of years. They are VERY GOOD. On sale last for $4.99/lb. Took 3 home to go with the ones in the freezer. Price keep going up a couple of weeks ago they were priced $6.99.

DennisLinkletter Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Looks great to me.. It reminds me of my favorite.. Tri Tips. It's 11pm and that shot is really making me hungry...

I partaked my first one while visiting CA in Feb this year. Had never heard of pork tri tip before, but was sure good, even on a metal grill. Would have been even better in a ceramic cooker, no doubt !!!
bobvoeh Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Nicely done. I've never had a Flat Iron Steak before, but that picture is making me want to try one now. When I get my KK I'll have to visit my butcher and see if he can cut me some.
