If I'm not mistaken, this is an upper blade roast from which you can cut flat iron steaks. You can cut it crosswise into ¼" slices, maybe a little thicker. There will be a strip of connective tissue between two very nice little steaks. The connective tissue runs the length of the roast and is EXTREMEMLY tough. I usually cook the steaks and then cut out the bad stuff. These are some of the tastiest steaks for the money. A great value, IMHO. I'll be interested in hearing what you do with them. I'm sure others will chime in. Good luck![p]Jim

Your other choice would be a pot roast.Get your dutch
oven out with some taters,carrots and onion.For two people should be ok otherwise stack them for three or four people.

JSlot,
I tried the steak method, trimmed off the tissue and got 2 great steaks.
Got the egg to 325 and brought the steaks up to 125, then cranked up the heat and seared for a couple of mins per side.
I was really impressed with the flavor and texture of this fairlly cheap cut, lookin forward to stocking up the freezer with these!
