Flat Iron Steak with Three Pepper Rub

Recipe View 2 mins In a small bowl, meticulously combine the smoked paprika, salt, brown sugar, chili powder, chipotle powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly blended to create a homogenous rub. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Generously massage the spice mixture all over the flat iron steaks, ensuring every surface is evenly coated. Wrap the seasoned steaks tightly in plastic wrap, pressing to help the rub adhere. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for a more intense flavor infusion. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F or 232°C). Clean the grill grates thoroughly and lightly oil them to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Carefully place the marinated steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to achieve your desired level of doneness, using a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. (8-12 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and allow them to rest for at least 5 minutes in a warm area, loosely tented with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (5 minutes)
