Print Recipe

Pan-Seared Flat Iron Steak – The trick to a great crust on this flat iron steak is to use a very hot skillet; a large cast-iron or heavy stainless steel skillet works best. This is a very satisfying, juicy steak with a mouth watering garlic butter sauce.

Serve this great steak with Garlic Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes, Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes or Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes

Also goes well with Oven Roasted Broccoli, Sauteed Spinach & Garlic or Roasted Asparagus.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 cloves garlic
  • 1 (1-lb.) flat iron steak
  • 2 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 oz. (4 Tbs.) unsalted butter

  2. Rub steak evenly with steak seasoning and salt.
  3. Cook in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes.
  4. In an 8-inch skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, swirling the pan frequently, until lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Lightly salt to taste.
