Flat Iron Steak With Balsamic Reduction Recipes

FLAT IRON STEAK WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• Bring steaks up to room temperature.
• Brush steak with olive oil, then press into ground peppercorns and sprinkle with salt; set aside.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks, and cook to desired degree of doneness, about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove steaks to a plate, tent with foil and keep warm.
• Add onion and mushrooms to skillet and saute until onion goes limp, about 3 minutes.
• 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, 10-15 minutes.
• Thinly slice the flat iron steak across the grain, and arrange on a serving platter. Pour the reduced balsamic glaze over the meat, and sprinkle with chopped parsley to garnish.

GRILLED STEAKS BALSAMICO

Steps:

• Place marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor; process until blended. Place steaks in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over steaks and turn to coat. Seal bag and marinate steaks in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks on grill over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill steaks, covered, 10 to 14 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Meanwhile, heat cheese in small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted, stirring frequently, about 2 to 4 minutes. Serve steaks with cheese sauce.

STEAK WITH PORT WINE BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• Heat bits of trimmed fat in heavy pan over medium high heat.
• Add shallot and sautee.
• Remove shallot from pan and set aside.
• Heat pan over high heat until very hot.
• Sear steak until dark brown on both sides. This should be enough for medium rare, but if not, or a higher temperature is desired, put in oven at 400 degrees until the desired internal temperature is reached.
• Remove steak from pan.
• Add half of the port to the pan, and bring to a boil. Let boil for 5 seconds, and then use a spatula to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add sauteed shallot, the rest of the port and the balsamic vinegar to the pan, and reduce sauce to desired consistency.
• Slice steak and serve with reduction sauce.
• Note: Recommend cast iron pan for this recipe as it maintains heat even when the steak is added, making for a good quick sear.

FOOLPROOF FLAT IRON STEAKS

Steps:

• Place steaks, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, thyme, mustard, and black pepper in an extra large resealable plastic bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Knead the bag with your hands to distribute ingredients evenly and completely coat the steaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steaks from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Remove steaks from bag and discard marinade.
• Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

PERFECT FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• Place the steak inside of a large resealable bag. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, chives, Cabernet, salt, pepper and mustard powder. Pour over the steak in the bag. Press out as much air as you can and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steak in the hot skillet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or to your desired degree of doneness. Discard the marinade. These steaks taste best at medium rare. Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
