Ingredients

• 1 flat iron steak (approximately 1.5 lbs)
• 1 tbsp cracked black pepper
• 1 tbsp sea salt
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins inside the Arteflame grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
4. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes until the center grill grate reaches 1,000F.

Step 2: Season the steak

1. Pat the flat iron steak dry with paper towels.
2. Generously season both sides with sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Step 3: Sear the steak

1. Place the steak on the center grill grate for 1-2 minutes per side, achieving a deep, steakhouse-worthy crust.
2. Add butter to the flat griddle cooktop and move the steak to the griddle to continue cooking.

Step 4: Finish cooking

1. Cook the steak on the griddle until the internal temperature reaches 15F below your desired doneness.
2. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Tips

• Let the steak rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
• Use a meat thermometer to achieve your preferred level of doneness.
• Grill vegetables or potatoes on the flat cooktop while the steak rests.

2. Danish Blue Cheese Flat Iron Steak: Crumble Danish blue cheese on top after searing.
