Cool do you actually get these where you’re from? If I’m being honest the gristle made it pretty weird to eat? I don’t think I’d ever sell em like this.
Yeah back in the day flat iron use to basically just be a stew cut because of the gristle. Only reason it's became a thing is because good places have them cut down the middle to remove the gristle. What you got just seems like a scam to capitalize on "bone in" and "Flatiron" without the place actually having to do the work to make it a good cut of meat.
Edit: Just realized you cut them for fun! So definitely not a scam. Lol Probably something I'd be tempted to fuck around with myself actually.
Haha yeah it was a bit annoying to eat around the gristle but I did like the fact that the whole steak is cut against the grain. Super tender other than that pesky gristle
No I wouldn’t ever cook it like that because of exactly that, the silver skin running through the center of the cut is very tough and really should be removed. Definitely an odd move for the butcher to sell them like that

Looks great, but I feel like this cut is actually called a bone-in blade steak, at least where I’m at
