Despite being a self professed lover of all the best steaks, I only recently discovered the existence of flat iron steaks, following my visit to the Flat Iron restaurant in London. It has since been my cut of choice at numerous steakhouses, due to its rich flavour and affordable price point. The flat iron cut stems from the cow’s shoulder and possesses a wonderful degree of marbling. After being cooked on the grill, the steak becomes extremely tender and flavourful.
You no longer need to be boujee to get a taste of mouth watering steak. The flat iron steaks on this list will surely give you the best bang for your buck, and your tummy.
A highly raved restaurant that is nestled along a stretch of vibrant shophouses on hip Club Street, The Feather Blade dishes out quality flat iron steaks at an affordable price. The Feather Blade Steak ($21++) features 200g of flat iron steak, and is their prized cut of beef.
Even though the steak is only seasoned with salt and pepper, it gives an explosion of pleasant flavours when bitten into. The steak tastes somewhat buttery, due to the rendered fat. You can pair the steak with their curated house-made sauces ($2++ each), including Sichuan Peppercorn, Bearnaise, Horseradish Cream, and Red Wine, to complement the flavour profile of the already succulent steak.

Priced at $9.90++, Stirling Steaks’ Value Flat Iron Steak is the cheapest one on this list. Served on a rustic wooden chopping board, the mouth-watering steak is served with salsa verde, a delish sauce made from herbs. The acidity of the salsa verde pairs beautifully with the rich flavour of the beef, creating pleasant mouthfeel.
The chef grills the steaks over majestic charcoal fires which can be seen from your seat, resulting in a smoky dish that’s a feast for your eyes and tummy.

Huber’s Bistro is a butchery-cum-bistro on Dempsey Road that serves one of the tastiest steaks in Singapore. This is due to the fact that their beef is conveniently picked from their butchery a stone’s throw away, and that they source for high quality meats overseas. Their Flat Iron Steak (+$16++) that’s served with Café de Paris sauce is a match made in heaven. The steak also comes with a side of crispy French fries. The juicy steak, infused with the creamy butter, creates a mouthwatering combo that’s truly an indulgence at a steal.
