Ultimate Flat Iron Steak

Ultimate Flat Iron Steak delivers rich, beefy depth boosted by a garlicky, herb-studded red wine marinade. A quick sear locks in juiciness and creates a caramelized crust, giving each slice a balanced mix of tenderness and bold flavor. Ideal for a relaxed weekend dinner or a special steak night with simple sides.

  1. 1

    Put the steak in a large resealable bag. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, chives, red wine, salt, pepper, and mustard powder.

  2. 2

    Pour the marinade over the steak in the bag. Press out as much air as possible and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.

  3. 3

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Put the steak in the hot skillet and discard any leftover marinade; sear and cook the steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare, or to your preferred doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare.

  4. 4

    Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

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.
