I picked up a $4 Flat Iron from the store yesterday and with a $50 purchase you got a FREE 1LB bag of 16/20 ez peel shrimp.

I marinated the shrimp in Robusto Italian Dressing, Sambal Oelek and a little orange juice.

I seasoned the flat iron with my last bit of Wolfe Rub Bold and let marinate in the fridge for an hour or so. Took it out an hour before grilling to get to room temp and grilled it for 4 minutes per side, along with frozen corn on the cob.

Pulled the steak off to rest and grilled the shrimp for 5 minutes.

This was one of the better and super simple but extremely flavorful meals I've cooked in a while. The flat iron was like butter.

Flat Iron is a great cut of meat. It's hard to get out here but they have it sometimes at the restaurant supply place I go to. I have some in my freezer for special occasions. Nice looking cook Larry.
 
Nice looking meal Larry but FROZEN corn on the cob...Thats a sin here in the corn state of Iowa. Once the sweet corn season hits I may have to send you some REAL sweet corn...hehehe
 
That looks crazy good, Larry! I don't know that I've ever had the flat iron.

Love those green giant nibblers w/a little butter and Tony C's.

Nice job.

I used to say sirloins were my favorite, but I think the're tied with flat irons. Try them if you get a chance. They're not always labeled as 'flat irons', they are also called top blade steaks, depends on who's labeling them........it's a marketing thing.

The flat irons actually come out of the shoulder (used to be part of the shoulder clod roast back in the day) and they used to get cut up for stew meat. They are an incredible cut of meat!
