Discover the perfect balance of tenderness and bold beef flavour with our Alberta AAA Flat Iron Steak. Sourced from premium Canadian cattle and hand-selected for its rich marbling, this underrated cut is second only to tenderloin in softness — but with far more flavour.
Cut from the shoulder (top blade), the flat iron is ideal for grilling, pan-searing, or slicing thin for steak salads and sandwiches. At HQ Meats, our Alberta AAA flat irons are expertly trimmed and ready to cook — no extra prep needed.
Whether you’re looking for a weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing steak for the BBQ, this cut delivers juicy, steakhouse-level results every time.

Butcher's Notes
How to Cook It
Pat dry and season generously with salt 30 minutes before cooking.
Sear in a hot cast-iron pan or grill, 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Second only to tenderloin in tenderness — don't let the price tag fool you.
