Method
Steak & Marinade
- 1
Prepare and marinate
Pat the flat iron steak dry with paper towels. In a small bowl combine 2 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs soy sauce, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, finely minced garlic (3 cloves), 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper and 1 tsp kosher salt. Rub the mixture all over the steak, coating both sides. Place the steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and refrigerate to marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to come toward room temperature.

Sear the steak
Place the steak in the hot skillet or on the grill. Sear without moving for 3–4 minutes to form a deep brown crust. Flip and cook the other side for 3–4 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature about 130–135°F / 54–57°C). For medium, cook 4–5 minutes per side (135–145°F / 57–63°C). Adjust time for thickness; a 1-inch steak follows times above.
