My teacher used it for all those diagonally-sliced beef dishes. Tonight I'm having (watch out) flap steak, a new discovery thanks to Mexican cooking. No mashed with chives, just steamed new potatoes with LOTS of black pepper and butter. (Or maybe that should be the other way around.)

I've lived (so often vicariously) in bereft places myself.<br />The potatoes were Kennebec, a sort of russet-y variety. Nice and mealy.<br /><br />Pea: So we have these adorable cow ranchers who grow meat... Who'da thunk they'd know to cut the flatiron? Life is good here.<br />Thanks!!<br /><br />Limoncello: Ah! You responded to the taters first. My girl.<br />I have bought hanger steak a few times (once from Golden Gate Meats) and it's awesome. Not quite so flat as it is rope-shaped (hence the name "hanger," if I'm not totally muffing the etymology). You are right that the butchers would covet this odd piece. I must get braver and flavor my steaks... xxx<br /><br />Mouse: You have a chive field too? Mine's in bloom; I suspect I will have a chive field next year as well. Seeds, you know. Nature. Free food.<br /><br />Anita: Cranky LOVES the ricer, but lately he's been mashing the potatoes with a... masher! Clunky, rustic, mouthfeely. So yeah, get those chives in there.<br />The Prather boys -- they like my rubber chicken purse! Hee.<br /><br />Biggles: Some meat is enough. Say I. And there are leftovers for Asian beef salad.<br /><br />Zoomie: It's the meat 'n' potatoes combo that really does it for most of us.

You really know how to talk to an Irish girl! <br />If I remember correctly, I asked for a flatiron steak at Golden Gate Meats a coupla' months back and they recommended a hanger steak instead (I know nothing about beef, so take this all with a mine of salt). I believe Hanger is what is also called a "butcher's steak", on accounta the butcher knowing it's the cut you want to eat but no one wants to buy. <br />No matter - it was also a thin and grill-worthy piece.
