Facts

Featherblade steak or flatiron steak is a cheaper cut of steak however full of flavour, fairly lean and tender.

  • If you don’t have a food processor, prepare the onion, chilli and garlic by hand. Mix everything together in a mixing bowl.
  • If you are using wooden skewers soak them in water before using them so they don’t burn under the grill.
  • Try serving with low fat hummus or tzatziki.
  • The grill pan gets hot so remember to use oven gloves.
  • It’s important to rest your steak for at least 5 minutes before slicing, this keeps the juices within the steak and makes it more tender.
