Flat Iron steak is relatively "new" to the market, although from what I understand, meat cutters and butchers have known about it for years. It's from the shoulder, and it's pretty darn tasty. Best of all, it's also inexpensive, although I'm afraid if it gets too popular the price will go up. Right now I can get a steak for $4.99 a pound. Since we don't eat huge amounts of meat with a meal, a steak can last my family 2-3 days. I had to giggle when I saw it on a restaurant menu for $28.00.

There, more than you probably wanted to know about a Flat Iron Steak. Next week, we will discuss the Hangar Steak.
