I may be wrong, but I think the Flat Iron Steak might have been researched and developed at my alma mater, Texas Tech University. I've been looking for it in the grocery store, but I can't find it by that name. I did notice on my last grocery trip that there were several "new" cuts of steaks with names I'd never seen before.

Flat Iron Steak Developed by the research teams of University of Nebraska and the University of Florida, the flat iron steak is gaining in popularity with  restaurants across the United States. You can thank the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association for funding research to make this tasty, tender economical steak available to us today.  (Read More...) The beef cut is actually a top blade steak derived from the tender top blade roast. The roast is separated into two pieces by cutting horizontally through the center to remove the heavy connective tissue.    Top Blade Steak - aka Flat Iron Steak

Stop lookin.

There ain't enough tenderizer in the world to make it edible.
