First Flatiron Steak

These are tasty, but for the life of me I can't get them tender at all.

Ross,

Those cuts are extremely good--one time the store had several out on the shelf, and I bought all of them! A few times already, they've opened up a cryo with a shoulder in it and have cut the flat irons out for me. I guess the secret to those is watching the temp--had problems last year with the very first one I cooked, because I use the "feel" to judge doneness. Boy was I wrong!

LOVE flat irons! What's on top of your spuds?

Mike,
I got those at a High End Market I picked those of the display, they were vary good and tender. As for searing them I thought 90-sec. would just wright but they needed 45-sec. more then they were perfect.
My Best,

What temp did you use while searing the flatirons?

Did my first one's a month or so ago and MAN O MAn were they awesome. My hot tub is turned off during the week so I CORCKPOTTED them LOL Worked great to!!! Just put them in the crock pot on LOW and left the lid off. Stayed around 100-105 for about 2 hours then seared them for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes a side at 800 degrees. My best friend had never eaten a steak like that and he was amazed at how tender and juicy it was. Here's a few pics from that cook

Wow, that meat looks fantastic. I think I'll cook mine hotter next time.

The pictures look good enough to eat!

Flatirons have quickly become one of our favorite cuts. They are fantastic.
