Flat Iron Steak Tips

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 (More or less depending on the cut of steak, how thick it is, and how well-done you want it). 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.

I sprinkled the steak with fresh, chopped cilantro, but you can omit this if you don’t love cilantro.

With the right seasonings and cooking techniques, this steak is sure to wow your family and friends.
