My Costco had Choice flat irons for $9.99 a pound, which is about as good as I’m gonna do for steak, and from what I could see in the two pack the marbling looked good, though they tend to pack an ugly duckling in there with the beauty.
I’ve had mixed experiences with flat iron. I picked up some really good one Brandt Beef ones a while pack there some of them best steak I’ve cooked, then I have had other ones where I’m dealing with huge veins of fat or silver skin. People seem to love them though so I suspect I’m doing something wrong.
i’ve included some photos of the two I bought today. One of them is fairly similar to what I normally see. Lots of marbling on top, less than 1” thick, but what I would describe as a tree of fat on the back side.
The other one (top in photos), I have no idea what to do with this. It doesn’t look like any flat iron I’ve purchased before, and it seems like there’s silver skin running through it in a few odd places.
What do you guys think? Am I buying bad flat irons, or is this normal? Trimming advice for either of them? Personally I’d rather trim more before I cook than eat around inedible bites late. I also hate serving food to people when they are gonna get a bad bite (who doesn’t).
