Flat Iron Cut (AKA: Top Blade or Butler's Steak)

Wagyu Flat Iron

The Wagyu Flat Iron is a richly marbled, tender cut that comes from the shoulder area of the cow, offering an exceptional balance of flavor and tenderness. This steak is known for its deep, beefy flavor, making it one of the most flavorful cuts available, while still being remarkably tender due to its fine marbling.

Key Features:

• Marbling: High marbling for enhanced juiciness and flavor.
• Texture: Exceptionally tender with a fine grain, providing a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
• Flavor: Rich, deep beef flavor with a luxurious finish.
• Cut: Sourced from the shoulder area, known as the chuck, specifically the top blade muscle.

Cooking Tips:

For the best results, cook the Wagyu Flat Iron to medium-rare or medium over high heat, either on the grill or in a hot pan. Simple seasoning with salt and pepper will allow the natural flavors to shine, and resting the steak before slicing will enhance its tenderness.

Serving Suggestions:

This versatile cut pairs well with a variety of sides, from creamy mashed potatoes to grilled vegetables, and is complemented by a bold red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel.
