1
Marinate the Steak (Optional)
If using the optional marinade, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Whisk until well blended. Place the flat iron steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, pour the marinade over the steak, and seal the bag or cover the dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
2
Season the Steak
Remove the steak from the marinade (if used) and pat dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

3
Heat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add olive oil to the pan and let it heat until shimmering.
4
Cook the Steak
Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it to develop a good sear. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time to achieve your desired level of doneness.
5
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
