My family and friends love this and ask for it at dinner and cookouts. I always make extra and that is even gone by the end of the meal - you just keep wanting one more piece. If there are any leftovers, they are great in a salad or sandwich. This is an inexpensive cut of meat that is tender and delicious and may surprise you.

After the steak is grilled, it's perfectly tender. This will be a big hit with your guests and your wallet.
