We just tried our first Flat Iron Steak (aka Top Blade Steak). We received a steak sampler as a Christmas gift, so we were anxious to try this new cut of steak that we had never heard of before.
It was delicious! It is the second-most tender piece of steak; only the tenderloin is more tender. It is supposed to be a very inexpensive cut of meat, but not very common since there are only 2 flat iron steaks per cow.
I read online that this cut should be cooked medium or it will taste like shoe leather. We marinated ours in Worcestershire sauce, a little garlic and some Canadian Steak Seasoning for about an hour before we grilled it. We grilled it over high heat for 5 minutes on one side and 4 on the other, and it came out perfect!
If you see one in the grocery store, give it a try.
