Top blade Flat Iron Chicken steak.

[fxsales1959]

Post name is kind of a joke. I comment frequently about our local "Latin" supermarket / meat store.
I was wandering through the other day. looking for some griddle steaks. Not real thick like i would buy bone in ribeye. I'm not sure who makes the labels, but thought it was comical. I noted the prime sticker



anyways, they looked like this all thawed.


I figured for $10.50 it would be the right amount of steak for two of us. Fairly heavy SPG a few hours prior.

Blackstone on high reading in the 400 range with infrared thrmometer.

about 3-4 minutes on eaxch side adding a little SPG after first flip.

So, not exactly sure what official cut is/was. Figure to duplicate would look for "flat iron".
any way, after a couple flips the were reading about 135.
Sorry for the dirty plate picture,.
These were about 6.5 oz each and plenty of meat for two of us watching Olympic curling.
Just proves you cn't always trust the label.

Top blade come from the shoulder / chuck area . Roast or cut into steaks like you have .
Maybe " chicken steak " means for chicken fried ?

Looks like it did it right though . Those cuts have great beef flavor ususally .

They look good, they still come them chicken steaks around here, flat iron is from the same cut usually fillet long ways to get rid of that grizzle piece that runs down the middle.

Nice cut of beef. Publix has the same cut featured this week.
Have a few Latin meat shops around here. 99% of them go to Walmart
