Main Ingredients- Beef Flat Iron Steak, 2 servings (approx. 300-400g)
- Red Onion, 1/4
- Whole Garlic Cloves, 4
Seasoning & Aromatics- Olive Oil, 2 Tbsp
- Herbed Salt (or Salt, Pepper), 1 tsp
- Olive Oil, 2 Tbsp
- Herbed Salt (or Salt, Pepper), 1 tsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the beef flat iron steak to enhance its flavor. Gently pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Then, drizzle with 1 Tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of herbed salt, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Gently massage the seasoning into the meat with your hands and let it marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This step helps tenderize the meat and allows the flavors to penetrate deeply.
Step 2
Heat your skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the pan. Carefully place the seasoned steak in the hot skillet. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until a beautiful golden-brown crust forms. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness. While the steak is searing, slice the red onion into wedges (about 1/4 onion) to grill alongside.
Step 3
As the steak sears, add the 4 whole garlic cloves to the pan. Cooking the garlic in the steak’s rendered fat will infuse it with incredible flavor, making it sweet and aromatic. Keep an eye on the garlic and flip it along with the steak to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn.
Step 4
Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, it’s time for a crucial resting period. Transfer the cooked steak to a plate and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting phase allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and moist steak. Serve your delicious Beef Flat Iron Steak with the roasted garlic and grilled red onions for a complete and satisfying meal!
