bri134 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 So, I've recently had my first Restaurant Depot visit and needless to say it was a religious experience. I found whole flatiron steaks, well I guess they're more like flatiron roasts. The one I bought was 7 lbs. Love flatirons, the fam loves them, one of my top 3 fav cuts from a cow. My question is does anyone know of an easy-ish way to get around the vein of gristle/silverskin that runs the length of the roast without cutting it into individual steaks? I like cooking them whole. I was thinking of maybe cutting around it while raw? Anyone have any experience/advice on this awesome cut of meat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeats Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Re: Whole Flatiron Steak Well...take a look at this guy: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 8132389974 , He's a little wasteful when it comes to trimming, but you get the idea on how to remove that center piece of connective tissue.

primeats Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Re: Whole Flatiron Steak Thanks FM! When I watch him there is a lot of flipping and wasteful movement(economy of motion). But that's just professional criticism. What a great cut of meat! We have 3 meat markets in Wilmette and three grocery stores, I think we are the only ones who sell them!

primeats Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Re: Whole Flatiron Steak When I worked at Hy-Vee Food stores in Iowa we used to call the flat iron a "Beauty Steak" We simply trimmed the silver skin from both sides and sliced them in 1.25" steaks. I never had the opportunity to grill them way back then, but I think the gristle in the center would be an obstacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will surely become my next cooking experiment, hope it'll be successful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
