The flat iron steak is a nicely marbled cut harvested from the beef shoulder. When cooked properly, this cut is tender and juicy.
The best way to cook this cut is grilling or searing on a flaming hot grill or pan.
Season steak with salt and pepper. Sear one side on high heat for about 5 minutes and flip over. Grill until it reaches your desired doneness temperature (3-4 minutes). For rare, stop grilling at 115-120 F, medium rare 120-125 F, medium 135-140 F. Let rest for 10 minutes.
When paired with cowboy butter, this steak is out of this world.
