Equipment
- Large Skillet
- large baking sheet
- Parchment paper, optional
- Meat thermometer is helpful
Ingredients
- 3 lb. Flat Iron Steak (3 lbs. - 2 pack from Costco) Freeze the 2nd one for later and ½ recipe is optional.
- 3 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
- 3 Tbsp. Soy Sauce May use a GF option.
- 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 3 Tbsp. Steak Seasoning
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Olive Oil for cooking
Garlic Herb Butter
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh Italian herbs like oregano, basil, parsley, thyme
Instructions
- Remove the steaks from packaging. Use paper towels to blot and dry the meat on all sides.
- Place steaks on a large cutting board or on a baking sheet that can catch runaway liquid. Lightly score the steaks with a sharp knife in a wide crisscross pattern.
- Salt and pepper the meat. Next, over the top sides, drizzle half of the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and olive oil. Next, sprinkle on the steak seasoning. Turn the steaks over and repeat.
- Lay parchment paper over a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Heat a large skillet. You may use a cast iron, if you have one. Drizzle the hot skillet with a little olive oil. Use a large fork to lift the first steak into the skillet. Sear the bottom side and then turn to sear the top. Place onto the prepped baking sheet.Repeat with the second steak.
- Place the baking sheet with seared steaks in the oven. Bake at 400℉. Bake for 13 minutes. Remove from oven to rest. Stick a meat thermometer into the thickest part. 135℉ is medium rare. 145℉ is medium rare. We cook ours for 15-16 minutes and aim for medium/medium well. The thicker parts will be more rare and the thinner parts will be more well done.
- While the steaks are cooking and resting, melt the stick of butter. Add the garlic and herbs. Let the garlic and herbs cook in the butter for a few minutes over low heat.
- While the meat is resting, drizzle the garlic herb butter over the steaks before cutting. Slice into ¼ inch thick slices for serving.
