we are going to Harry’s Whole Foods Market in Alpharetta, Ga. this weekend—can we request a flat iron steak be cut for us if they don’t carry?—also, there are many recipes but what is a cuban flat iron recipe. thanks

bay leaf would have been a great addition to the marinade as well. Being Cuban, we add bay leaf to a lot of our seasonings, especially to our meats! It’s just soo good. Nice recipe. Pretty bona fide

Ha! “Flat iron steak” has been a very popular steak cut in restaurants for years & I’m delighted Whole Foods carries it. Please at least do a Google seach before whipping out the conspiracy theories.

Feeding cattle a “vegetarian” diet isn’t such a great recommendation. Lord knows, cows aren’t carnivores. Neither are they naturally eaters of grain (read corn and soy). If the description said “grass fed and grass finished”, that would be a real recommendation. (Read Michael Pollan’s “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” and “In Defense of Food”.

@Linda and @Aneesah Most of all the recipes on our website have nutritional information available on the recipe page. We are working to verify a few things about the Cuban Flat Iron Steak recipe before posting up the info. We’ll keep you posted on when it goes up!

Would it be possible to get calorie and nutrition information on your recipes.

@Keith The flat iron steak is a cut of steak from the shoulder of a steer and is often used as an inexpensive, but flavorful cut of meat due to its significant amount of marbling.

Ok, I like to scan things first to see if this is something I would like. The recipe looks great. The ingredints are not too complicated or exotic and I love the idea off using a cheaper cut of meat which you can do with marinades. What the heck is a “Flat Iron Steak”. Is it your special cut? Is it your brand of something that’s frozen. Are there substitures? I don’t think Flat Iron Steak apears on any meat chart. If this is a convience product tell me clearly. I am sure it is in the video or somewere but it seems like you are trying to hide something with a special name. Those who know foods, which I suspect is much of your cliental, don’t appreciate “mystery meat” titles.

Great easy ‘mojo’ for pork loin/chops too. Probably would also work with ‘meaty’ fish like Tuna, Swordfish, Salmon as well. This is a keeper. Thanks. Love the store.
