Flat Iron Steak – The Cut

The flat iron steak comes from the shoulder joint and owes its name to its flat-iron -like shape. Due to its demanding nature, the shoulder muscle is rarely used as a steak, but when carefully trimmed, it is tender and juicy.

Raising our cattle

Our beef comes exclusively from our own herd or from partner farms in the immediate vicinity of the butcher shop in the Black Forest . The animals are raised exclusively on our own farm feed , ensuring the quality of our products is outstanding.

Short transport routes of a maximum of 50 km guarantee gentle and stress-free slaughter, which also contributes significantly to the quality of the meat.

Dry aged beef – a tradition for us

Dry aging on the bone has been a long-standing tradition for us. Our flat iron steaks age on the bone for at least two weeks, losing up to 50% of their weight in the process, resulting in a rich, natural meat flavor.
