£7.35 – £9.85

Discover Flat Iron Steak from The Black Farmer

Flat iron steak is a modern cut, taken from the featherblade (or spale bone) shoulder of beef, offering great value and a distinctive flavour. While this cut is slightly tougher than more premium cuts, it’s easy to cook and perfect for marinating, enhancing its rich, beefy taste. You can cook flat iron steak quickly over high heat or slowly, depending on the recipe, making it a versatile choice for various dishes.

Is Flat Iron Steak Tender?

Flat iron steak is fairly tender for a shoulder cut, though it is not as soft as more premium cuts like ribeye. With the right cooking techniques, such as grilling or searing, it can be made deliciously tender and juicy.

How Should Flat Iron Steak Be Cooked?

To achieve the best results, cook flat iron steak over high heat to develop a good crust, or use a slow-cooking method to bring out its tenderness. It is ideal for grilling, pan-frying, or even broiling, depending on your preference.

Is Flat Iron Steak a Good Cut?

Yes, flat iron steak is a fantastic choice for those seeking a flavourful, affordable option. It differs from sirloin or ribeye but is well-loved for its unique taste and texture.

    COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

     

    Here’s a cooking instruction for a Flat Iron Steak:

    1. Start by preheating your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. It’s important to get the cooking surface hot to achieve a nice sear on the steak.
    2. While the grill or skillet is heating up, season your Flat Iron Steak with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings of your choice. Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat.
    3. Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the seasoned Flat Iron Steak on the cooking surface. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness. For medium, cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, and for medium-well, cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side.
    4. While cooking, avoid pressing down on the steak with a spatula, as it can release the juices and make the meat dry.
    5. After cooking, remove the Flat Iron Steak from the grill or skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
    6. Once the steak has rested, slice it against the grain into thin strips. This helps to maximize tenderness.
    7. Serve your delicious Flat Iron Steak with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!

    Remember, cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and the heat of your grill or skillet. It’s always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your desired internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for medium-well.
