*Shopping tip: If you do not see flat iron steak in the beef section at your local grocery store, be sure and ask the butcher if they can cut it for you.  I have done this many times and they are always happy to accommodate special requests.

We love to cook our beef medium-rare, but you can adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness.  A meat thermometer is a great way to ensure that your steak comes out perfectly every time.
