Best Friday Night Dinner

[over the mountain]

so i asked my butcher buddy from cross street market about the flat iron steaks. he said they used to be a great steak at a great price but it is now the trendy meat and the prices have risen from a few bucks a pound to 7-9 bucks. so he doesnt carry them anymore as he says you can just buy a ny strip or any other quality steak at 7-9 bucks a pound.

he said the same thing happened with flank and skirt steaks. they used to be a great piece of meat at a great price, but since they became trendy a few years ago, the price is just too high.

idk, im kinda bummed. FD or anyone whose bought them, how much do you pay a pound for flat iron steak? my guy didnt have it and gave me a history and reasons why he didtn have it instead of just qouting me a price or the avg market value.

ps - i probably said this before but sometimes we wake up on a sat or sun and head up to philly just to hang out, eat and drink. pats n genos are alright.

i like mcgerks in federal hill in baltimore. its a philly bar, owned by philly natives and they import the steak and buns from philly.

In our area we pay around $6.00 per pound or maybe a little more. Do you guys have a Food Lion in your area? If so try there and if they do not stock flat Iron Steak ask them to order some. Your buddy is correct but who wants the same cut of meat everytime. Flat Iron steak is nothing like a NY and I enjoy both from time to time.

Food Lion is definitely the spot for them. They sometimes will run a special and my wife and I stock up when we can get them for around 4-5 bucks a piece.
