When I found out that Alltech was marketing steaks I knew they would be good. This is a very good filet on my grill. If you’re looking for a good recipe then order some flat irons and give this a try:
Spicy Lemon Pesto Flat Iron Steaks
Ingredients:
4 beef shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks (6 to 8 ounces each)
1/3 cup prepared basil pesto sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 large cloves garlic, minced
Salt
Freshly grated lemon peel (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine Spicy Lemon Pesto ingredients in small bowl. Set aside.
2. Press garlic evenly onto beef steaks. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 10 to 14 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once. Season with salt, as desired.
3. Top steaks with pesto. Garnish with lemon peel, if desired.
Makes 4 servings.
Now for the all important nutritional information and this is very nutritional!
