What makes it special is that it has far more marbling and beef flavor than a tenderloin at a significantly lower cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this cut have a tough gristle line down the middle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Uncut \"Top Blade\" roasts contain a tough center fascia line. However, a true \u003cstrong\u003eFlat Iron steak\u003c\/strong\u003e is expertly seamed along that line by a butcher, removing the gristle entirely. What you receive is 100% tender, usable meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Flat Iron good for marinating?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, although it is so tender and flavorful that salt and pepper alone are delicious. Because of its loose grain, it readily takes on flavors from citrus, garlic, balsamic, or chimichurri marinades, making it a favorite for steak salads, tacos, and fajitas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Butcher's Secrets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47581215031614,"sku":"","price":900.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/1484\/2686\/files\/magnet_card_rev_flat_iron_copy.png?v=1761062913","url":"https:\/\/butcherssecrets.ph\/products\/buy-usda-angus-flat-iron-steak","provider":"BUTCHER'S SECRETS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
