Never had one before but saw them in the store, pretty cheap for a big steak. Bought 2 of them and fired up the traeger, cooked some taters, carrots, and onions 1st then threw them on, 7 min per side and done. Awesome steak for the price, will be doing them again!(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftapatalk.imageshack.com%2Fv2%2F14%2F08%2F18%2F46e56ded1d00e9e8de3e7e65934acce8.jpg&hash=30032f579ee35919d6bb4a5e1bacd4170e8c6296)

We love them, took some to Canada and my hunting cousins could not believe the taste. I prefer some good red wine with mine, no beer :chuckle:

Runs about the same as a good rub steak around these parts. I never understood why, as I would much rather have a rub steak. However, my dad begs to differ and his freezer is full of them.

I make them out of my deer shoulder. Flat iron steak is from the inferolatero muscle on the lower ridge of the scapula. (keel like bone) You will have to fillet out the tendon making 2 steaks. Studies have proven that it is the second most tender meat in beef, just behind tenderloin. Frijita is a popular way to cook it. When you get a 7 bone pot roast you will find out the little round next to that hooked shaped bone (keel bone) in the middle is always the best part of the roast which is the teres major muscle group and if it were filleted off instead of crosscut, that's flat iron steak. Best flat iron steak I have eaten were from a moose.Now that made some goooood eating!!!!

How did you set up your treager for doing these?
I did a flank steak (same cut?) on my green mountain grill that turned out ok, but Always nice to see how others setup their pellet grills..

Flat Iron is my top favorite cuts of beef. I sometimes treat it like a London broil with the marinade and all. Don't cook it too long, it should be around medium rare in my little opinion.

I rubbed it down with my favorite prime rib rub, heated the traeger up to 450 and put it on for 7 min a side and it was medium rare, closer to rare. Your gmg may do an even better job since you can crank the heat a little higher and get a better sear :tup:

My flank steak turned out decent, think I ran 500 about same time, but made sure hit 160 internal..

Flat iron are a good steak, but for the money I think a chuck eye is the best steak.

Oh I did run it 30min@ 180 to put some smoke in it, then pulled off and cranked to 500 and 7min/side once there..

I don't worry about internal temp on beef, if it's warm I'm good :tup:

Agreed! (unless its ground...)
If I'm with my Dad and I order steak at a restaurant, when the server asks how I like my steak, my Dad makes sure to interrupt and say "Just smack it on the ass and bring it out here!" LOL :chuckle:

We do flat irons on the traeger more than anything else, great steak for the money.

I had a friend who was a butcher and he turned me on to chuck eyes. If I found them in a store, I would buy every one they had. Since there are only two steaks per cow, they were sometimes hard to find.

I'm actually a butcher as well and I think the chuck eye is like the best part of a rib eye for half the price
