Perfectly Seared Garlic Rosemary Flat Iron Steak: Your New Favorite Recipe

Prepare to elevate your weeknight dinners or special occasions with this exceptional flat iron steak recipe. We take an often-underestimated cut of beef and transform it into a culinary masterpiece, thanks to a deeply flavorful garlic and rosemary marinade. The steak is then quickly seared to achieve a mouth-watering crust, before being finished in the oven, ensuring every bite is incredibly juicy and perfectly tender. This method guarantees a steak experience that rivals much more expensive cuts, proving that gourmet flavor doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.
