Swift USA - Choice Black Angus Flat Iron. MB3 Grain-Fed

Pulled from the oyster blade and cleaned through the center seam, the Flat Iron is one of the few shoulder cuts that eats like a steak when handled properly. This Swift USA version comes in at USDA Choice (MB3), giving it enough marbling to stay juicy without pushing into heavy richness.

Grain-fed Black Angus brings a softer bite compared to leaner grass-fed flat irons, while still keeping that distinct shoulder-cut identity — slightly firmer than loin cuts, but more flavour-forward. The muscle itself is naturally fine-grained, which is why it delivers consistent tenderness across the whole piece once trimmed correctly.

Why this cut stands out:

* Flat Iron (Top Blade Center Cut): One of the most tender shoulder steaks when properly prepared
* MB3 / USDA Choice: Balanced marbling for juiciness and reliable texture
* Swift USA Program: Large-scale consistency with dependable sizing and quality
