This meal uses a cut of beef that is not as well known as a Ribeye, but it is one of my favorites: 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 to 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 a flat iron is and how to cook it.

Is the Flat Iron a good steak?

Yes!! It is our favorite cut as it is incredibly tender, well-marbled, flavorful, and great for grilling!

What is Flat Iron Steak best for?

A flat iron steak is versatile and can be cooked in several ways. We prefer to grill ours, but it also works great in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop!

Should I tenderize the Flat Iron before cooking it?

In our experience, there is no need to tenderize this cut. If cooked medium rare, it will be super tender and flavorful on its own.

How many Flat Iron steaks does a cow have?

There are four steaks cut from the chuck from each beef.

Chimichurri Sauce

We love to serve it topped with our chimichurri sauce, which is a perfect pairing for this steak or others. It is super easy to make and keeps in the fridge for multiple uses!
