**Discovering Flat Iron Steaks: A Culinary Delight**

I've never had flat iron steaks before, and I'm excited to check them out. These steaks offer a rich beef flavor similar to that of a sirloin, but with nearly the tenderness of a tenderloin. To enhance their natural taste, we'll be using a rub made from a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar.

**Understanding Flat Iron Steaks**

Flat iron steaks are also known as Butler steaks or oyster blade steaks. They're cut from the chuck or beef shoulder and can sometimes be labeled as top blade steaks or even top blade roast. The versatility of this cut is evident in its various names, highlighting the importance of proper identification and preparation.

**Preparing the Rub**

To add flavor to our flat iron steaks, we'll be using a rub. We'll apply the rub to both sides of the steak and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. The longer we leave the rub on, the more it will penetrate into the meat, resulting in an even deeper flavor profile.

**Grilling the Steak**

Now that our steaks are prepared with the rub, it's time to grill them over a hot surface. We've cleared off the grill and have sliced about a pound of mushrooms as part of our accompaniment. To add some crunch and sweetness, we'll also be sautéing quartered onions until they're lightly browned.

**Adding Flavor with Mushrooms and Onions**

With the grill preheated to its highest temperature, we'll quickly cook the onions for a few minutes on each side, allowing them to caramelize slightly. We've added some Barbecue Pit Boys spices, including salt, pepper, and garlic, which will add depth to our dish.

**Cooking the Potato Wedges**

While the onions are cooking, we can quickly throw some potato wedges on the grill as well. A sprinkle of cheese will enhance their flavor, making them a perfect accompaniment to our flat iron steak.

**Baked Beans and Fresh Corn**

To round out our meal, we'll be pulling baked beans off the grill, which have been cooking alongside the onions and mushrooms. We've also got fresh corn on hand, cooked to perfection and seasoned with just the right amount of salt and pepper.

**Searing the Steak**

With all the accompaniments ready, it's time to sear our flat iron steak over high heat for a minute or two on each side. This will create a nice crust on the outside while locking in the juices within. We'll be using a grill with a flat surface, allowing us to cook the steak directly without any additional equipment.

**Resting the Steak**

Once we've seared both sides of the steak, it's time to let it rest for 5-6 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making the steak even more tender and flavorful. A few slices are enough to show us how juicy and tender it is, with a rich beef flavor that's similar to a sirloin but not as tender as a tenderloin.

**Plating the Dish**

With our flat iron steak ready, it's time to plate up the dish. We'll grab some biscuits, sautéed onions, mushrooms, baked beans, potato wedges, and a sprinkle of cheese to top everything off. Our meal is now complete, with each component complementing the others in perfect harmony.

**The Verdict**

The flat iron steak has exceeded my expectations, with its rich beef flavor and tender texture. It's been a pleasure experimenting with this new cut of meat, and I'm excited to share it with you all. Whether you're looking for a new recipe or just want to try something different, the flat iron steak is definitely worth checking out.
