I ordered a flatiron steak which I expected to look like flank steak… got these two thick pieces…

    In the 80s we used to call them chicken steaks, in Florida at WinnDixie

    Those are top blade steaks, not flat iron

    They cut it the wrong direction. For a flat iron they are supposed to cut along each side of the gristle.

    pretty sure that’s espadilla. don’t know the english translation but should be beef shoulder. that tendon down the middle is annoying but not horrible

    Any suggestion for cooking? Should I slice across and just make stir fry or slice across and make 4 thinner pieces?

    Flat iron steaks. I’m a butcher and cut some today.

    If I had to guess, I would say cut in half.

  8. It’s top blade, which is the same muscle as the flat iron, the infraspinatus, but it was cross cut. They still have the gristle in the middle.

    Bottom is blade steak that butcher has neglected to flatiron. Did they still charge the premium flatiron price? Top piece is a flatiron. If you slice along both sides of the sinew, you’ll get two more flatirons.

    In french it’s called paleron and it’s great low and slow.
