This is what my grocer is calling Flat Iron Steak, however the Flat Iron Steak I've seen on YT and elsewhere does not resemble this. Is this Flat Iron Steak and how is it best cooked?
Flat Iron Steak Confusion?

A flat iron steak comes from the shoulder clod in the top blade area, and they are marbled. Your package of steaks is marbled, but I've never ever seen a flat iron steak with a bone, but the bone could be the blade bone. Maybe you have a near-flat iron steak? Or maybe your's are cut at 90° to the way mine in the photo was cut?

Not a Flat Iron, I believe that's a "Blade Steak" which is cut across the grain in the Chuck rather than a Flat Iron which is cut with the grain.

Is a blade steak the same as a shoulder steak? That's what that looks like to me.

When I worked in a meat market decades ago, we called those chuck eyes. I've never actually cooked and eaten one, though.
A flat iron is long and thin with the grain running long ways.

Looks a lot like this steak to me.

And @5.42/lb? Flat iron goes for a lot more than that around here...

Sorry, the old man's memory is fading. The butcher I worked for called it a "chicken steak," not a chuckeye. Probably a chuck blade steak, as others have pointed out.
That sure looks like a blade steak. Definitely NOT a flat iron.
Pretty sure you got a Ralphs near by.
