Directions 8 steps | 50 Minutes

Step 1

Make the marinade. In a bowl, combine the rosemary, sage, thyme, salt,  black pepper, garlic, dry red wine and olive oil.

Step 4429 Shot
Step 2

Using plastic gloves, add the flat iron steaks into the bowl and rub the marinade into the steaks. Transfer the steaks into the refrigerator and marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the flavor to develop.

Step 4430 Shot
Step 3

While the steaks are marinating, make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar, swirling frequently until the sugar caramelizes. Be careful not to burn the sugar.

Step 4431 Shot
Step 4

Deglaze the pan with the red wine.

Step 4432 Shot
Step 5

Add the vegetable stock, and bring it to a boil. Add the balsamic and white balsamic vinegar and gently reduce the mixture to one-third of its original volume. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 4433 Shot
Step 6

Remove flat iron steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade. Heat the grill. A hardwood grill is preferred, but a brick char-broiler or an indoor grill pan will accomplish the task just fine. If grilling indoors, remember to turn the exhaust fan on. Grill the flat iron steaks until evenly browned on both sides before basting. 

Step 4434 Shot
Step 7

Baste two to three times with the reserved balsamic glaze. Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. 

Step 4435 Shot
Step 8

Serve paired with mushroom ragout. Enjoy!

Step 4436 Shot

Notes:

  1. Certified Angus beef flank steaks could be substituted for the flat iron steak.
  2. This recipe pairs wonderfully with mushroom ragout.
