Six Minute Flat Iron Steak is a simple steak recipe that tastes anything but! It’s marinated in a mix of kitchen staples like garlic, soy, and ginger that results in a flavorful marinade that amps up the flavor of this steak.
HOW TO COOK SIX MINUTE FLAT IRON STEAK
Flat iron steak is a tender cut of meat with a bit of marbling for flavor. It’s perfect for marinating. As well, it’s less expensive than some of the other steaks.
It’s best to let the meat come to room temperature before you throw it on the grill. Therefore, if your marinating time is about 30 minutes then you can marinate the steak on the countertop then it can go straight on the grill with it.
However, if you plan on a longer marinating time, you’ll need to refrigerate it and then leave it on the countertop long enough to warm up a little. Usually, 30 minutes is enough time.
You can cook this steak on a hot charcoal grill or gas burner. Cook it for 3 minutes per side (or more depending on the cut of steak and how thick it is). Check the steak for doneness and if it needs more time cook for a few more minutes.
It’s always a good idea to let the steak rest for a few minutes before you cut it so that you don’t lose all the juices.

Let me wipe the drool off my keyboard first… That look's so delish!!! My parents cook flat iron steaks for our big family Sunday dinners a lot; it has become their favorite, but I've yet to try them. I will be pinning this recipe for when I finally do!
