Flatiron fajitas

Been hearing a lot about flatiron steaks, so decided to give it a go. Less than 5 bucks a pound at Kroger:

On the Egg at sub-thermonuclear temps with a little DP Cowlick:


Flipped at a minute, flipped again after another minute, and then shut everything down for another 4 minutes, flip, and one last 4 minutes:

Added a few onions during the rest:

At the rest:


They allege he is mine. He likes my food, so I will claim him

Looks absolutely awesome. Pardon my ignorance, but what kind of cut is a flatiron?

Great looking fajita!

Every once in a while my Kroger has a sale for flatirons at $3.99/lb. I stock up and freeze it for fajitas. The last time I did that the lady at checkout asked if I left any.

Its basically from the shoulder of the steer--NAMP guide lists it as Beef Shoulder, Top Blade Steak. Researchers state that it is the second most tender cut of meat, after the tenderloin.

I think the two thumbs up from your taste tester tells the story.

Nice cook dude. The egg and mexican food were made for one another.

Hey doc...

Lookin' good. I always look for good pricing on flat iron, still at $5.99 to $6.99/lbs hear. Flat iron is definitely a good change from NY, ribeye, etc.
