This recipe calls for one of my favorite and increasingly popular cuts of beef, flat iron steak. The flat iron steak comes from the shoulder and is similar to flank steak. It is a delicious cut of beef that is relatively inexpensive and is good for serving a crowd. Like flank steak, it is best served medium-rare and thinly sliced against the grain which makes each bite is tender and flavorful.
The marinade I use is really easy to throw together and adds great flavor without overpowering the delicious flavor of the beef. Make sure you get your grill nice and hot before you start – a quick, hot sear is essential with this cut of beef. About 4 – 5 minutes per side is all you need. Let it rest and slice against the grain. That’s it. Serve it up with some crusty bread, grilled veggies and the leftover marinade that’s been reduced. You’ll never reach for a bottle of steak sauce again.
