Level: Easy

Yield: 4 servings

Time: 25 min

Flatiron steaks are a great option for a casual dinner or a special occasion. They are tender, relatively lean, and can be cooked on the grill or in a skillet. Their strong flavor pairs well with bold sauces, such as the mustard, caper, and herb sauce in this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of grainy mustard

• 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed

• 2 tablespoons of capers in brine, drained and chopped

• 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar

• 2 teaspoons of packed light brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce

• 1 small clove of garlic, finely grated

• 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley

• 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh chives

• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

• 4 flat-iron steaks (about 230gms each)

Directions:

1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

2. In a large bowl, combine the mustard, olive oil, capers, vinegar, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Stir everything together.

3. Add the parsley, chives, and 2 tablespoons of water to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set the caper sauce aside.

4. Lightly coat the steaks with olive oil.

5. In a separate bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the steaks.

6. Oil the grill grates.

7. Grill the steaks for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on their thickness, for medium-rare doneness.

8. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 to 10 minutes.

9. Slice the steaks against the grain and top them with some of the caper sauce. Serve the remaining caper sauce on the side.
