Grilled Marinated Flat Iron Steak
September 16, 2008 – 7:07 amI got this recipe from Elise of Simply Recipes. She has a lot of great recipes, so visit her blog! The marinade made the steak very flavorful, even after just 2 hours. The only things I changed were using a 1.25 lb flat iron steak instead of a 2 lb flank steak (I kept the marinade quantities the same though), and grilling for about 8 minutes on each side at medium heat instead of 6 minutes on each side at high heat, as I wanted to give my veggie packets a bit more time to cook.
Grilled Marinated Flat Iron Steak
Serves 4
Marinade Ingredients
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Other ingredients
1 pound flat iron steak
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a large zip top bag. Make ¼ inch deep cuts in the flank steak across the grain. Place the steak in the bag and turn to coat completely. Let marinate for 2 hours to overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. While the grill is heating, put foil veggie packets on. Remove the steak from the marinade and generously sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and pepper. After 10 minutes of preheating and veggie cooking, put the flank steak on the grate. Grill for 8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 8 minutes for medium rare steak. Feel free to cook for longer if you prefer your steak more well done. Slice across the grain and serve.
I served this with several miscellaneous vegetable packets using up the odds and ends of my veggie drawer. The method is the same as with the grilled carrots and asparagus and grilled corn below.

Those veggies look great. Corn is the fave around here.

Hi: I tried this marinade, soaking it for +/- 5 hours or so on a flat-iron steak. The resulting tenderness was excellent (I cross-hatched the meat), but the flavor wasn’t quite as I’d hoped; it was a little too “bottled teriyaki” tasting for me. Next time, I’ll cut the honey in HALF, which I think would yield a better result for those of us who prefer savory over sweet. All in all though, an excellent base recipe, thanks!
