Sizzling Grilled Flat Iron Steak Recipe

Ingredients

• Four flat iron steaks, each weighing 6 ounces
• Two tablespoons of olive oil
• A tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper
• Two teaspoons of kosher salt
• A teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder
• A teaspoon of cayenne pepper for a kick
• A teaspoon of rich dark brown sugar
• Two teaspoons of freshly squeezed lime juice

Step 1

Arrange the steaks on a platter and let them sit at room temperature for roughly 30 minutes to enhance their tenderness. Get your outdoor grill ready by preheating it on high heat and lightly greasing the grate. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for the next step.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and a splash of lemon juice to create a flavorful mixture. Gently massage this marinade onto one side of each steak, ensuring an even coating.

Step 3

Place the steaks on the hot grill with the seasoned side facing upwards for about 2 minutes. Give them a quick flip and sear the seasoned side for an additional 2 minutes to lock in the flavors.

Step 4

Next, transfer the steaks to the preheated oven and bake them to your desired level of doneness. For a perfect medium-well finish, let them cook with the seasoned side up for 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, allow the steaks to rest for 3 to 4 minutes before serving to ensure juiciness and maximum flavor.
