USDA Prime Flat Iron Steak

Flat iron steak performs best with high-heat, fast cooking methods. Sear on a cast-iron skillet or grill over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side to reach medium-rare (130–135°F). Let it rest 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Its consistent thickness makes it ideal for grilling without hot spots or overcooking edges.

The flat iron steak is graded USDA Prime or Near Prime — the top tier of USDA beef grading, awarded to less than 2% of all beef produced in the United States. This grade reflects abundant marbling, which translates directly to superior juiciness, flavor, and tenderness compared to Choice or Select grades.

Unlike commodity beef, 7 Brown Farms' flat iron steak is single estate, never imported or mixed with outside cattle, and dry-aged 14 days using craft seam butcher processing. The cattle are grain-finished on a custom Ozark blend for optimal Omega 6/3 balance. It's small batch, fully traceable, and USDA Prime — a level rarely found in retail.
