Iv'e been getting the flat iron lately and could not be happier.
I sous vide for 2-3 hours at 128 then screaming hot sear and viola!
Oh and BTW...anyway you slice it, it's tender.

I like them both... I just got a bunch of top sirloin for 2.99 and new Yorks for 3.99

I dont think that they need the sous vide it is just my automatic go to process anymore because it allows me a bigger window of time and it will be done the same every time.

I enjoy both a top sirloin and flat iron but I'm more partial to the flat iron. I find that the flat irons are more tender and flavorful than the top sirloins.
I do a reverse sear on the flat iron steaks whenever I cook them. They also take well to marinades, and go great in tacos.

The flat irons have great flavor,and typically some good marbling. The only downside to them is the usual super gnarly fat vein running right through the middle of most of the ones I see. I just cut around,but wish it wasn't there.

Knows what a fatty is.
So do the sirloins most of the time, it's a heavy band of connective tissue that runs right across the middle. You have to cut it out unless you want it on your plate (I don't).
....but I've heard Piggy Wiggly is offering A5 Wagyu ribeye on sale for $2.20 a pound today :mrgreen:

New York Strips for 3.99, now that's a great price. Wish I could freeze them and send them home from the bash.

I guess the meat prices get better the further west you go. I could eat steak everyday at those prices.

Flat iron for $4.88? Is it a local grocery? That's a great price, and I second the flat iron with chimichurri.

Yes it's a small chain named Kuhn's here in Pittsburgh.

If you can talk to the meat cutter and get a look at the whole sirloin. Find one with some marbling, and get them to cut it into 2 inch thick steaks you will be a happy man. Reverse sear those babies on a kettle or egg and life will be good

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll grab some of each.
Flat Iron hands down!
Heavy sear and cold red in the center, slice thin at an angle and enjoy!

I like the flat iron if I had to choose. But if you're into grinding your own meat you might pick up some of that sirloin. Makes great ground beef.
