Southwestern Rubbed Flat Iron Steak

This is a recipe I got right from the flat iron steak wrapper, courtesy of “The Beef Checkoff”, as I was feeling less than creative tonight 😛 It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything special either, and I don’t think I’ll bother making it again. Maybe it’ll float your boat, though, so I’ll post the recipe anyway.

Southwestern Rubbed Flat Iron Steak
Serves 4

2 lb flat iron steak

Rub
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp cider vinegar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Combine all rub ingredients in a small bowl. Rub onto beef before grilling or broiling, about 15-20 minutes for medium rare.

I served this with some roasted butternut squash.
