Tips:

Choose the right cut of steak: Flat iron steaks are a great choice for grilling because they are relatively tender and flavorful. Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs is a good option.
Cook the steak over high heat: Flat iron steaks should be cooked over high heat to get a nice sear on the outside and a juicy, tender inside. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Let the steak rest before serving: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Flat iron steaks are a delicious and affordable cut of beef that is perfect for grilling. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect flat iron steak that is juicy, tender, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give flat iron steak a try!
