Cooking flat iron steak is a quick journey to bold, beefy flavor and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. To start, bring the steak to room temperature to ensure even cooking. Pat it dry and season generously with salt and freshly cracked pepper, allowing these simple spices to amplify its natural richness. When it’s time to cook, use high heat to create that perfect seared crust. Heat a grill, cast-iron skillet, or broiler until hot. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish, adjusting for your preferred doneness. A few sprigs of rosemary or thyme in the pan can add subtle earthy notes as it cooks. After removing from heat, let the steak rest for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to settle.
