The flat iron is a relative newcomer to the steak scene but has been a butcher’s secret for years. Cut from the chuck (shoulder), the flat iron is a fantastic combination of rich beef flavor and a tender, meaty bite. This steak is amazingly versatile; simply throw it on the grill or prepare with your favorite marinade for an extra kick of flavor. While we believe it's best served medium rare, this steak holds up to high heat and is a good candidate for anyone who prefers a well done steak.

One of our best steaks for sale online, the 8 oz. size makes for easy weeknight meals and the 1.2 lb. size is perfect for laid-back weekend get-togethers. Buy your steaks online for dinner to your doorstep.

The flat iron steak is best cooked medium rare to medium to maximize its tenderness and to allow the generous marbling to melt and become juicy.

Grilling, pan searing and the steakhouse method are good techniques for cooking the flat iron steak.

There is a strip of connective tissue that runs through part of the steak. It’s easy to spot, so cut around it after cooking.

The flat iron is a thin, rectangular cut and can be used in recipes that call for flank or skirt steak. This steak can be prepared whole or cut into strips for stir frying, tacos or fajitas.

For those who prefer a well done steak, the flat iron holds up well to temperatures of 160°F and above.
