Flat-Iron Steak
You can also cut a piece of flat-iron steak from the top blade muscle, which is a bit more tender than the rest of the chuck. However, the muscle has a tendon running through it, which needs to be removed before cooking, otherwise it will leave a very tough, chewy texture in that part of the steak. Once this is done, the steak can be grilled or pan-fried over high heat until desired doneness (although overcooking it will guarantee it comes out tough and less flavorful).
