Flat iron steak is a popular cut of meat that comes from the shoulder blade. You say meat from the shoulder, isn’t that a tough cut of meat? You got it all wrong. A choice grade of flat iron steak can almost be as tender as New York strip steak. An 8 ounce portion can satisfy the meanest of appetites.

The reason restaurants have included this cut on their menus is due to the fact that it is economical. It does not cost as much as the ribeye or cuts from the loin. It is also manageable to the chef to the obvious fact that it comes portioned and vacuum packaged, therefore has an extended shelf life.

Flat iron steak can be served with fresh cut french fries along with cole slaw priced around $12. For a more casual dining experience it can be served with asparagus and mashed potato $16. This cut can also be priced above $20 if desired.

Everyone is left satisfied especially your guest. I guarantee good word of mouth will come around.
