Beef shorties, flat iron, and more... pics

Threw some beef short ribs on the Weber early while we made stuffed jalapeños using diced cottage bacon and chorizo in a chipotle cream cheese mixture. A portabello was drizzled with a bacon ranch dressing and a vidalia onion dressing finished with juices from the flat iron steak. My wife made some homemade salsa with tomatoes from our garden.

Threw the flat iron on last and brushed the shoties with Stubbs Sticky Sweet over a savory beef rub. All turned out delicious!

All looks great, however beef ribs are my weakness. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Bill. Same here on the beef shorties. These went on too hot but they were tender in the end. Thankfully the flat iron was very tender because I have had mixed results with them over the years.

I've heard about the flat iron steaks, but I've never cooked one. Are they worth it? What are they comparable too? I tend to like rib eye and tri tip.

Another name for Flat Iron steak is a top blade cut. I would compare to a flank or skirt steak that has muscle
fibers that calls for cutting it against the grain. While I believe it benefits from marinating, the one in this post was only rubbed. Also, it is best if it isn't cooked too well beyond medium. And the best part.....the steak above was only 4 bucks! Give one a try.

I'm always looking to try something new. Thanks!
