American Wagyu Flat Iron Steak

The Ranch Difference

Our American Wagyu Flat Iron Steak is the second-most tender cut on the entire animal—surpassed only by the tenderloin, but with far more flavor. This is modern butchery at its finest: a cut that was once discarded, now recognized as one of the best values in premium beef, elevated by our Wagyu genetics to deliver exceptional marbling and taste.

What Makes It Special

• Cross of Japanese Wagyu and Black Angus
• Decades of selective breeding for optimal marbling and flavor
  

Naturally Raised

• 100% pasture-raised on Florida pasture
• No industrial shortcuts
• Finished with feed in pasture for balanced beefy flavor and a tender bite

The Flat Iron Excellence

Flat iron comes from the shoulder blade and delivers remarkable tenderness with rich, beefy flavor. Our Wagyu genetics create exceptional marbling throughout, transforming this already-impressive cut into something that rivals the most expensive steaks. This is the cut that proves you don't need to pay ribeye prices for ribeye-quality eating.
