Flat Iron Steak - Anyone sell it?

Hi Dalt

here is my two cents

here is a flat iron video

http://youtu.be/h-loc9svx54




also, if you are backed up on top blades, you can make some bnls beef ribs out of them-slice steaks  fairly thick, lay flat, then slice on both sides of the center grisle, and flip up-they make nice looking tender bnls beef ribs

also, thin sliced top blade steaks sell well in some stores

I cut a few steaks today - had some extra blades to play around with.  I've had blade steak on sale all week and figured why not toy around a bit :)

So I've never been taught how to cut them, just read about it.  I took a whole blade, cut the meat from the top of the line of sinew running through the middle, then cut the bottom meat away from it.  Afterward I cut it into a couple square sections to fit into a few 2s's - was this the right approach?  And has anyone else had any luck selling them?  I put them out at 4.99 but I'm guessing I should charge more since I lost a good chunk of weight out of the middle..

i keep trying to sell it but it just wont pick up. .. I think its got to do with the area people just aren't familiar with it so they don't bother with it. i do bnsl beef country ribs from the blades but they don't do so well unless its summer.

Fdarn, good point-some places flat irons dont sell very well, however, being a new variety item in many meat departments-what did help these steaks start selling-was just a sign with cooking instructions- some customers just dont know what to do with these steaks (how to cook them) cooking instructions could help move these steaks

We run them in the summer and cut to request. I cut them for myself from time to time. We have pretty good luck selling them but for the labor and trim loss, most of the time I don't think it's worth it.

Flat irons are in our store lineup. They are a bitch to cut but quite good sellers in the summer. Its a trendy thing with the people who want to cook the latest and greatest thing. Lots of waste if they are not cut properly. Its hard to stop cutting once you start. At least that is my issue with them

We get in Flat Iron steaks pre-packed, as well as Flank steaks. In the summer we open up a couple, season them with Pepper Steak seasoning from Everson's, and put them in the service counter. we sell about 2 cases a week. (18 in a case).
