Pan Seared Flat Iron Steak
Recipe: Pan Seared Flat Iron Steak
The trick to a great crust on this flat iron steak is to use a very hot skillet; a large cast-iron skillet works best. Have your hood fan on high, because there will be some smoke. If you can't find flat iron steak in your local market, a top blade chuck or sirloin steak will work just fine.
