My family and friends love this and ask for it at dinner and cookouts. I always make extra and that is even gone by the end of the meal - you just keep wanting one more piece. If there are any leftovers, they are great in a salad or sandwich. This is an inexpensive cut of meat that is tender and delicious and may surprise you.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Flat iron steak is an affordable cut of meat for grilling season. To make it tender, though, it needs a good marinade. This recipe offers just that. Take some easily accessible prepared sauces, mix 'em together and you've got a unique and delicious marinade. The final result is a mixture of smoky, rich, savory flavors. After the steak is grilled, it's perfectly tender. This will be a big hit with your guests and your wallet.
