Farm-Fresh Tips for Juicy Flat Iron Steak
Flat iron steak is one of the most tender cuts of beef—richly marbled, flavorful, and perfect for quick cooking on the grill or stovetop. Here’s how we prepare it at Fields of Athenry.
Bring to Room Temp – Let the steak rest on the counter for 30 minutes before cooking so it cooks evenly.
Season Simply – A good sprinkle of kosher salt, cracked pepper, and garlic lets its natural flavor shine.
Cook Hot & Fast – Grill or sear in a hot skillet, 3–4 minutes per side, for a golden-brown crust.
Aim for Medium-Rare – Flat iron is best at 130–135°F, keeping it juicy and tender.
Rest Before Slicing – Let it rest 5–10 minutes to lock in the juices.
Slice Against the Grain – Carve thin slices across the grain for melt-in-your-mouth texture.
From Farm to Feast—happy cooking!
