Season both sides of the flat iron steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat a heavy, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the steak and sear until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium; add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until wilted and browned, about 10 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low; add the wine to the skillet and bring to a boil. Cook until the wine is slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes; add the beef stock and bring to a simmer.

Mash the butter and flour into a paste in a small bowl using a fork; stir it into the mushroom mixture and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Return the flat iron steak to the skillet.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
