Step 1: Prepare Your Flat Iron Steak
- Remove the flat iron steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. For added flavor, you can also use your favorite steak seasoning blend.
Step 2: Preheat Your Grill or Pan
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F) or heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
- If using a grill, make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Grill or Sear Your Steak
- Place the seasoned flat iron steak on the preheated grill or in the hot skillet.
- Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy – the internal temperature should reach 130-135°F for medium-rare.
Step 4: Rest Your Steak
- Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill or skillet and transfer it to a cutting board.
- Tent the steak loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful steak.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
- After resting, slice the flat iron steak against the grain into thin strips. This helps ensure tenderness and makes for easier chewing.
- Serve the sliced steak immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of your favorite steak sauce, if desired.
