I've seen these on American cookery shows but not here.

http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers...uys3_27377.htm

Wikipedia "Flat iron steak is the American name for the cut known as butlers' steak in the UK and oyster blade steak in Australia and New Zealand. It is cut with the grain, from the shoulder of the animal, producing a cut that tastes good, but is a bit tougher because it's not cross-grain."

I'll be getting a couple to try out. Anyone tried cooking them? Good recipes? I'll probably try this one first

Morrisons sell it. I tried it once. Wasn't too impressed. Has found it had a gamier flavour than the common cuts.

I don't like the idea of the grain being longer...I would like to taste it to see what it's like though.

I tried the ALDI flat iron steaks the last two fridays.

One was medium well (by mistake ) and the other was rare.
Both tasted fine but were chewy as hell. Wouldn't buy them again.

Bought 2 packs. Did this recipe with one

A bit chewy, but a very satisfying deep "beefy" taste. Only marinaded for a couple of hours though - might not have been chewy if I'd marinaded overnight.

Did a standard slow-cook beef casserole with the other pack - wonderful.

I bought two packs when they were on offer when this thread was started, one pack went off before it was even out of date, the other took way too long to cook properly and didn't taste great anyway, I gave mine to my dog.
