Can someone provide me the details on what, where, how, and the difference in these two steaks? The local Sams I go to is very cooperative in custom cutting meat for me. I just need to provide him with an idea as to how to butcher to get this product. I know this has been discussed before but I haven't seen it brought up in awhile. Thanks, Tom

    Bajatom,
    thirdeye's link provided good description of the hanger steak. .. . the flat iron steak is taken off the blade chuck roast. .. here is a good link that describes this cut . .. its much easier to find than the hanger steak. ..

    mad max beyond eggdome,
    We're going to be doing a Dizzy Pig/Green Egg demo at a Home & Lifestyle show tomorrow and Sunday and as part of that we'll be cooking some Certified Angus Beef flatirons. We've done these before at demos and with a little CowLick or Raising the Steaks they are outstanding. We've secured local CAB sponsorship for Dizzy Pig Canada bbq team, so we're looking forward to cooking all that top shelf beef this season!
    I'll try to get some snapshots of the flatirons on the XL over the weekend so folks can get an idea how nice this cut grills up!
