INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 3 pounds beef flat iron steak (shoulder top blade)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely ground mixed peppercorns
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

What to Drink?
Wine Syrah

DIRECTIONS

  1. Brush steak with olive oil, then press into ground peppercorns and season with salt; set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add flat iron, and cook to desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  2. Once the steak has finished cooking, remove to a plate and keep warm. Stir the minced garlic into the skillet, and cook over medium heat until the garlic begins to brown around the edges, about 1 minute. Pour in the balsamic vinegar, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer until the vinegar has reduced by half.
  3. Thinly slice the flat iron steak across the grain, and arrange on a serving platter. Pour the reduced balsamic overtop, and sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.
