What is Flatiron Stick?

the Flat iron stick It is a long, thin piece of meat, sometimes called a top blade steak because it comes from the top of the blade of a chuck roast. Under the label on the piece of steak I purchased (before this cut became more well known), it stated, “I just bought a great new steak! The flatiron is cut from larger roast strips using a new cutting method. It’s very tender, unlike tenderloin.” You won’t find a more tender steak.”

Is flat iron steak expensive?

I discovered this steak when it wasn’t as well known or expensive as it is now, but it’s still a good buy compared to most steaks suitable for grilling.

What is chimichurri sauce?

Chimichurri sauce It is a South American condiment for beef based on fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon juice or vinegar, and is sometimes called Argentine pesto.

What if you don’t like cilantro?

I know a green herb sauce with a lot of cilantro in it won’t appeal to some people. But the chimichurri sauce can certainly be made to taste, so just use the herbs you like best. I think mint or basil could substitute for the cilantro, or use all of the parsley if you like.

What did we use in the chimichurri sauce?

We started with a generous handful of chopped cilantro and chopped parsley. Then Jake chopped up several tablespoons of minced fresh garlic. This sauce is good for any kind of roasted meat, but it’s been known to be served over beef.

What if you don’t have an outdoor grill?

If you don’t have an outdoor grill, it can be cooked on a stovetop Grill pan on the stovetop with ridges (affiliate link) or file George Foreman Grill (affiliate link) with good results.
