Today’s Menu: Buffalo Flat Iron Steak w/ Sauteed Mushrooms, Baked Potato, and Cut Green Beans
For Breakfast this morning I prepared a couple of Scrambled Eggs, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie’s Whole Grain Bread, and my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Sunny and 94 degrees, and very humid outside today. Summer has returned! Not a lot going on. Caught up on some little jobs around and outside the house. Too hot and humid to do a lot outside. For Dinner tonight, Buffalo Flat Iron Steak w/ Sauteed Mushrooms, Baked Potato, and Green Beans.
I was ready for a Steak tonight! I had a Wild Idea Buffalo – 8 oz. Flat Iron Steak in the freezer, I sat it in the fridge overnight to thaw. I’m preparing it using a Cast Iron Skillet, my favorite way to prepare these Wild Idea Buffalo Steaks! I love the Cast Irons, from the stove straight into the oven! I love these Flat Iron Steaks, as I do all of the Wild Idea Buffalo Products. These are hand cut with no fat and so easy to prepare. I’ll need Extra Light Olive Oil, Dried Thyme, and McCormick Grinders of Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. I first rubbed the Steak with Olive Oil and then Seasoned it with the Thyme, Sea Salt, and Peppercorn Medley. I then cut the Steak in half, 1/2 for Dinner and the other 1/2 for Lunch tomorrow.
It’s a beautiful, lean, cut of Buffalo. I started by rubbing it with a light coat of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoning it with Dried Rosemary, Dried Thyme, and McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I pan fried it in a Cast Iron Skillet on medium high heat for about 3 1/2 minutes per side. Came out a perfect medium rare, nice outside char with a moist and juicy pink center!This was an awesome tasting Steak! A huge difference between the Beef Flat iron Steaks and Buffalo Flat Iron Steaks is how much more tender the Buffalo is. At times Flat Iron Beef can be tough, not the Wild Idea Buffalo Flat Irons! Served it with Sauteed Mushrooms.
For a side I prepared a Baked Potato. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, topped it with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.
Then I also heated up a can of Del Monte Low Sodium Cut Green Beans. I also had a couple of slices of La Baguetterie Roasted Garlic Oval Bread that was leftover. For Dessert/Snack a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn along with a Sprite Zero to drink.

We carefully fillet our flat irons from the upper shoulder blade of the primal chuck. The flat iron has recently become a favorite on restaurant menus due to its high quality and flavor. The flat iron steak is what many chefs consider a best-kept secret of steak cuts. 8 oz.

I have never tasted buffalo. Do you like buffalo better than beef, or is it just healthier? It looks really lean. Is it pretty tender?

Taste better and very tender. Plus it’s prepared a lot quicker than beef because it’s so lean. I’ll have a cubed Beef steak from time to time but for my steaks and burgers its buffalo. My Mom now even eats it more and more. I order most of mine from Wild Idea Buffalo and some from SayersBrook Bison Ranch. Most grocery stores now carry some brands of buffalo or bison but the better quality buffalo is from the 2 places I mentioned. I think you’ll enjoy it. 🙂
