Updated on Aug 20, 2012

the cut we know as a flat iron steak has only been around for a short time, but it's quickly becoming a favorite among steak lovers. It's cut from the chuck and is second only to the filet mignon in tenderness, but has a great rich taste similar to sirloin. It's made its way into most supermarkets, and is typically priced to be a very good bargain. The sizes vary from 1 to 2 pounds so you need to buy accordingly. The boneless steak, however, is easily cut into serving size pieces. The combination of sauteed mushrooms and onions is perfect.Source unknown
