This meal uses a cut of beef that is not as well known as such as a Ribeye, but it is one of my favorites…it is the Flat Iron. This steak is cut out of the chuck and is super tender. It is a thinner cut steak and is best when cooked medium rare. We love to serve it topped with our chimichurri sauce! I am sharing our Chimichurri Sauce recipe below, but first let’s dive into what is a flat iorn and how to cook it.

Yes!! It is a favorite cut of ours as it is extremely tender, well marbled and flavorful and great for grilling!
What is Flat Iron Steak best for?
