Flat Iron Steaks are a quick fry special, and increasingly to be found on restaurant specials boards. Cut from the chuck, they offer delicious tenderness, especially when cut across with the grain, while their robust flavour is a perfect match for the taste and spice of an Argentinian Chimichurri Sauce

Heat a heavy based frying pan, then rub the steak with a little
oil and season
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes each side of the steak over high heat;
baste for the last few seconds with a large knob of butter
Leave to rest for a few moments before carving
