Delicious Flat Iron Steak

Flat Iron Steak
from allrecipes.com:

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. flat iron steak
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup Cabernet Sauvignon (I used Merlot)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt (I used sea salt)
  • 3/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. dry mustard powder

Directions:

  1. Place the steak inside a large resealable bag.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together all the other ingredients. Pour over the steak in the bag. Press out as much air as you can and seal the bag.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. (I mixed it all together about 7:00 PM and left it in the refrigerator overnight and most of the next day.)
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steak in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side (for rare), or to your desired degree of doneness.
  5. Discard the marinade.

The steak was very tender and tasty. I'm sure the ingredients can be varied, but I would definitely keep the garlic, salt, pepper, chives and olive oil. I might suggest trying different types of red wines to vary the taste, too.
