So what is the flat iron steak ?
For only £10, the Flat Iron Steak is served with leaf salad.
You are given the choice of 4 sides ranging from Dripping cooked chips, Creamed Spinach, Market Greens, Sophie’s Salad and Roasted Aubergines for £2.50-3.50.
Plus £1 for sauces ~ Bearnaise, peppercorn etc.
Steak:
The steak was presented to me cooked perfectly medium rare; so pink and still juicy.
But I found the steak although it was tender, it was rather chewy and dare I say alittle lacking in flavour, and I had to resort to sitting there masticating for awhile.
My accomplice had to demolish the rest of the steak for me.
Sides:
The chips were hollow and dry, and tried to escape the wrath of my fork as I tried to impale them – so that peppercorn sauce was seriously needed.
Overview:
Like many of the other no reservation restaurants, come here early to avoid an arduously long wait. However, you are welcome to wait in the bar downstairs.
I really wanted to fall in love with Flat Iron, but the food didn’t make me quiver in pleasure as much as I wanted it to.
Having said that I did really like the ambiance, the service was faultless plus where else are you going to find steak for £10 in central London?
