Cooking Time: 135 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) smoked paprika
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) brown sugar
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) chili powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) chipotle chile powder
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) garlic powder
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) onion powder
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) cumin, ground
• 2 Pounds (lb) flat iron steaks, marinated

Steps

1. Prepare the Rub: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, kosher salt, brown sugar, chili powder, chipotle chile powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin. Mix until well blended.
2. Season the Steaks: Generously rub the spice mixture all over the flat iron steaks, ensuring even coverage. Wrap the steaks tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
3. Preheat the Grill: Set up your outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Steaks: Place the marinated steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4 minutes per side for medium doneness, adjusting the time based on your preferred level of doneness.
5. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a warm location and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender steak. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.
