The Flat Iron Steak is a part of the Chuck primal (encompassing the front shoulder) however, it is a much more tender cut than the typical Chuck Roast. The Flat Iron is from the same cut as the Top Blade, (located under the shoulder blade) except that the Flat Iron is cut lengthwise (instead of cross-cut), in order to remove the cartilage that is found in the Top Blade. While the Flat Iron can be cooked using a Sous Vide for an hour or two. In my opinion, the Flat Iron Steak is best suited for grilling or broiling. And it only takes about 10 minutes for a medium-rare steak that is amazingly tender.
