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

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, kosher salt, brown sugar, chili powder, chipotle chile powder, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin. Mix until well blended.
2. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the flat iron steaks, ensuring even coverage. Wrap the steaks tightly in plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Place the marinated steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adjusting the time based on your preferred level of doneness.
5. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest in a warm location for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
6. Slice the steaks thinly against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy the smoky, spicy flavors with your favorite sides or in steak tacos topped with fresh cilantro and onion.
