The recipe is very good and I have been using it myself for some time. One thing that I wish to point out is that the flat iron steak is known to be the second-most tender cut of beef, following the tenderloin, but with better flavor (at least in my opinion). The garlic paste does not make the steak more tender (that is from the amount of fat in the meat), but it blends perfectly with the beefiness of the steak. Another name for the cut of meat is "top blade chuck steak."

I have never used this cut of steak before, so I was worried about how it would taste. I looked this recipe up and decided to try it with garlic potato Pirogies. I must say, this is one of the best steaks I have cooked. Very tender and amazingly flavorful. Great!

I love garlic and after reading how kids like this I will make this tonight! My daughter is picky when it comes to meat but I am sure she will like this one. Thanks for the recipe.

i made this for dinner on 3/22/11 then made this over and over again at least a good 11 times this is now my familes go to steak recipe thanks to you making it again for the 12th time on 7/6/2011 : i finally found a way to make a tender steak thank you so much i also added mrs. dash garlic and herb seasoning to the steak rub and yummy will do again and again because the steak was not tough at all the secret is the olive oil!!! :).......oh by the way you can do this a number of ways i have i used minced garlic in a jar works just fine to cut on time and good ol montreal steak seasoning also works too but you must and i do say must use the olive oil! another tip: can also add a bit of onion powder too. either way i still get a yummy steak with the mrs. dash or the montreal seasoning as long as i am using olive oil to marinate it. WONDERFUL GRILL RECIPE FOR A STEAK TOO!!!

YUM!!! So easy and SO delicious! This is my go-to recipe for this type of steak, but it's great on chicken too! I added a few cloves of fresh garlic to the paste and cooked it on a George Foreman-type grill, and it couldn't be better. Thanks!

Very good! Here's how to make it easier - YOU DO NOT NEED TO PEEL the garlic cloves, just separate from the bulb of garlic. Cook in a scrap of foil, and once cooled a bit, the garlic will squeeze right out of the skin. I also found the garlic will burn if cooking over a temp over medium.

These were really good. I cut the recipe in half for two 8-oz steaks. I did end up adding a couple more cloves of garlic, though, from other reviews saying that there's not a lot of garlic flavor. I think next time I'll make the garlic paste ahead of time and marinate the steak in it for a few hours and add a couple of raw cloves along with the roasted ones. Next time I might try grilling it, too.
