Choose Your Cut Style

To enjoy this versatile cut at home, you have two excellent choices depending on how you plan to cook it:

• For Slow-Cooking & Braising: We recommend leaving the piece whole. During a low-and-slow cook, this central tissue completely melts down, creating an incredibly tender, rich, and juicy finish.
• For Pan-Frying & Grilling: If you prefer a quick sear, this cut transforms into the famous, tender “Flat Iron” steak. Because fast cooking will not break down the central gristle, simply leave a note at checkout if you would like us to cleanly trim and slice the piece into flat iron steaks for you.(Please note: If you choose to keep the piece whole for quick pan-frying, you will just need to navigate around the firm centre strip while carving).

Slow-Cooking Guide (For Whole Cuts)

To ensure the central gristle fully melts into a rich gelatine, use one of these simple methods:

• In the Oven: Submerge in rich stock, cover tightly, and braise at 140°C for 2.5 to 3 hours.
• In a Slow Cooker: Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours (or High for 4 to 5 hours).
• The Golden Rule: It is perfectly done when a fork easily slides into the centre and twists with no resistance.
