Wow. That is all I have to say about this economical steak. $5.00/lb at the McCleary grocery store, probably less at a larger store. I thought I'd try a flyer on one, just because it is good to do that once in a while.

From the looks of it in the package, I couldn't tell if it was gristle or marbling, but $10 for 2 lbs of steak was worth the gamble. I beat the thing senseless, just to make sure it was tender, and it was VERY nice with no connective tissues whatsoever.

Anyway, if you are looking for a nice steak, but don't want to spend $7-10 per lb, give it a go. (Mine came from St. Helen's Beef.)

Thanks for the info, I've long suspected you were a meat-beater.

What's up with that Dogfish? You've got a whole freezer filled with bear,deer and elk????
ps the M's game tonight sucked.

Try chuck eye, if you can find them. Edit: Come to think of it, flat iron just might be a chuck eye cut half inch thick.

I like variety once in a while Dave, and I'm running low on deer & elk steaks..

How did you cook/marinate it?

Nope, just Johny's on the grill. It would be suitable for doing a london broil.

Bret, your comment is funny.

Andy, Thanks for the info on them steaks.

Best Flat Iron steak I ever had was last year I picked up a 3 pack at the Grocer in Kooskia, ID to take back to camp and grill up.


You're right. they are good.

I tried them a couple times, and they are fairly tender and tasty. But since I don't have teenagers at home, my grocery bill isn't that big a part of my cost of living. So I just buy rib steaks and NY strips, which are tenderer and more tasty.

Probably a good idea for Andy, whose sons will soon turn in to full time eating machines, stopping periodically just to catch their breath.

tenderer

My food bill exceeds the GDP of several countries.

I bet they're actually the tenderer...er...est!

That is MEGA-MUNCHIES Dan!

More tender. OK already!

Glad I don't have to support your munchie habit.

I tracked my grocery spending a few years ago to see what my budget, if you could call it that, looked like. When I saw that wine was 75% of my food bill I decided to not keep track of it any more. Makes beer seem reasonably priced. Not to mention the above mentioned steaks.

Ummm, steak. It's what's for dinner.
