The flat iron is lower from the chuck space of the steer and has an identical texture to sirloin. It’s finest cooked on the uncommon to mid uncommon aspect, and as at all times, slice it throughout the grain for tender items.
For this recipe I put an Irish spin on a flat iron steak for St. Patrick’s Day. First I made a rapid marinade utilizing 1 bottle of Guinness Stout Irish beer combined with slightly Worcestershire, Soy, and a contact of Killer Hogs AP Seasoning. The flat iron soaks within the marinade for not less than an hour to choose up taste. You may go so long as 6 hours in case you like simply place it within the fridge whereas it marinates.
I additionally made a Guinness Stout Mushroom Discount Sauce to serve over the steak.

- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Enable the combination to succeed in a slight boil and take away from warmth. Serve heat over steak.
To prepare dinner the flat iron I used my Weber kettle w/ a scorching mattress of Royal Oak Pure Charcoal briquettes. As quickly because the coals have been scorching, I positioned the cooking rack on the grill and topped them with a set of GrillGrates.
I ran the grate temp as much as 500 levels by opening each prime and backside vents 100%. I additionally took the steak out of the marinade and let it any extra moisture drip off. The surface was seasoned with slightly Steak Rub for texture then it was prepared for the grill.
The cooking course of is easy. It takes about 10 whole minutes on the grill for medium uncommon. First the steak goes down and I set a timer for two.5 minutes; then it’s twisted 90 levels to create grill hatch marks; after 5 minutes I flip it over and repeat the identical steps.

Now all that’s left is to relaxation the flat iron for 5-7 minutes earlier than slicing, don’t skip this step it’s essential for a juicy steak.
Earlier than serving slice the steak into skinny strips throughout the grain, organize it on a platter or iron skillet and drizzle with the Guinness Mushroom Sauce.
