  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Flat iron steak
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 tbsp Dried thyme
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the flat iron steak and turn to coat, marinating in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, or up to 24 hours.
  3. Remove the steak from the fridge 30-60 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature.
  4. For stovetop cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the flat iron steak for 2-3 minutes per side for rare, adjusting time for other doneness levels.
  5. For grilling, preheat the grill over high heat for at least 10 minutes. Grill the flat iron steak for 3-4 minutes per side for rare, with time adjustments for desired doneness levels.
  6. After cooking, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Notes

For optimal flavor, marinate the steak overnight if possible.
Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness: 120°F for rare, 130°F for medium rare, and so on.
Rest the steak after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
