Bought what looks like a small roast last night. It is labeled Flat Iron Steaks. Any suggestions on how to go about cooking this.

Thanks

    Here is one method.


    Beef, Steaks, Flat Iron, Maple Syrup & Balsamic Marinade


    INGREDIENTS:
    1-2 Flat Iron Steaks
    1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
    1/3 cup pure Maple Syrup
    4 Tbs Dijon mustard, divided
    3 Tbs chopped fresh thyme
    1 Tbs EVOO
    1/3 cup chopped pecans
    2 Tbs pure maple syrup
    1 tsp kosher salt
    1/2 tsp pepper
    3 oz crumbled blue cheese




    Procedure:
    1 Combine vinegar, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 2Tbsp mustard, and thyme in shallow dish or zip-top freezer bag, add steak(s) to coat. Cover or seal and chill for 2 hrs minimum, turning occassionally.
    2 Heat olive oil in large heavy skillet over medium high heat, add pecans, stirring to coat. Stir in 2 Tbsp maple syrup, and cook stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove pecans from pan and spread on wax paper to cool.
    3 Remove steaks from marinade. reserving marinade. Sprinkle steak(s) with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temp for 30 mins.
    4 Egg the steak(s) per instructions at Faulkner . I did not do the rubs mentioned there since I already marinaded.
    5 Whisk together reserved marinade and remaining 2 Tbsp mustard in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and simmer 2 minutes or until sauce is thick and syrupy.
    6 Cut steak(s) into 1/2 inch thick slices, sprinkle with pecans and blue cheese. Either serve with sauce for dipping or pour sauce over steak before adding pecans and blue cheese. ENJOY!!

    Get the BGE to 600-650...cook it 60-90 seconds per side...take off the grid and cover with foil...shut down the bGE until the temp drops to 375-400...cook 3 more minutes per side..should be a nice 125 internal temp for med rare...wrap in foil and let it sit for 5 -10 minutes to let the juices redistribute...

    oh yeah I coat mine with evoo, sea salt & DP's Raising the steaks.... :laugh:
