Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the flat iron steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary evenly on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Place the seasoned steak on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the flat iron steak against the grain and serve it with your favorite sides.
