Flat Iron Steak With Potato, Squash and Mushroom Fricassee
I love flat iron! This tender cut from the shoulder quad is the most flavorful and juicy piece of meat on a cattle. One thing to be mindful of is that it does not fare as well cooked past medium and shines best coming off a hot grill seareed rare or medium rare as it will toughen with additional cooking. This dish is a great end to the grilling season as the fricasee can be loaded with the squashes of the fall harvest.
