Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the flat iron steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or charbroiler to high heat (approximately 450°F to 500°F).

  4. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Butter

    During the last minute of cooking, add a tablespoon of butter on top of the steak for extra flavor.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
