Flat Iron Steak

NcMysteryShopper's Note:

A popular "new" cut of steak (Top Blade Steak) that is cheaper and surprisingly more flavorful than the expensive steaks that is gaining popularity in the US. Posted for forum request. Said to be replacing the last steak-cut-fad "the hanger"...from Gourmet Sleuth

I really loved the marinade! Next time I am trying flat-iron steak bc flank steak was not very good, in my opinion. Thanks for this great recipe!

I did not have any red wine so I used red wine vinegar. The flavor was really good. I cut the garlic into chunks to spread around the flavor. I had to use Thyme because I didn't have any Rosemary. I cooked the steak on a griddle on top of my stove- 4 minutes per side. Turned out great.

Delicious Marinade. I left my steak marinading almost all day - I was out. It was wonderful; I'll keep this recipe for sure!
