Here is a butcher’s secret: one of the most tender steaks on the animal is not the famous one. Flat Iron steak cooks in minutes, slices like butter, and carries a rich beef flavor that surprises everyone who tries it for the first time.
Flat Iron is fine grained and lightly marbled, which gives you tenderness close to fillet with far more flavor. It has an even thickness from end to end, so it cooks consistently and is easy to get right.
Where Our Flat Iron Comes From
It comes from the shoulder of the calf. The muscle naturally has a thick line of tough tissue through its center, so our butchers carefully remove it and keep the two tender sides. That extra knife work is what turns a shoulder muscle into one of the best steaks you can grill.
How to Cook Flat Iron Steak
Season it with salt and pepper, or marinate it for an hour with olive oil, garlic, lemon and a little cumin. Grill it over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, rest it for 5 minutes, and slice it thin against the grain. It is perfect for steak sandwiches, steak salads, rice bowls or a quick weekday dinner with fries.
Why Farm House Flat Iron
We raise our Balady calves naturally on our own farm for about 400 days, with zero hormones and zero chemicals. The flavor you taste comes from that patience. Every Flat Iron is cleaned of its center sinew by our butchers, and vacuum packed without bare hand contact.
Steakhouse tenderness at an everyday price. Try it once and it will join your regular order.
Same spirit, different cut: try flank steak for fajitas, picanha with its fat cap or a classic entrecote for the pan.
