Asian-Inspired Flat Iron Steak

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Asian-Inspired Flat Iron Steak.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisk together 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, a splash of green hot pepper sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and brown sugar.

2. Step 2

   Blend these ingredients until they’re perfectly combined, creating a flavorful marinade that will elevate your steak.

3. Step 3

   Next, pour this delicious mixture into a resealable plastic bag.

4. Step 4

   Add your flat iron steak, making sure it gets a good coating of that tasty marinade.

5. Step 5

   Squeeze out any excess air, seal the bag tightly, and let it work its magic in the refrigerator for about 12 hours.

6. Step 6

   This is where the flavors really soak in! When you’re ready to cook, take the steak out of the bag and gently shake off any extra marinade, then toss that leftover marinade away.

7. Step 7

   Heat 3 tablespoons of sesame oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot, almost smoking.

8. Step 8

   Carefully place the steak in the skillet and sear it for about 3 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness.

9. Step 9

   Once it’s cooked to perfection, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

10. Step 10

    This resting time is crucial for juicy slices! While the steak is resting, toss some sliced red bell pepper into the hot skillet and sauté for about a minute until it starts to soften.

11. Step 11

    Add in chopped green onions and give it another quick stir for about 30 seconds.

12. Step 12

    Now, it’s time to serve! Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and plate it up, topping it with the vibrant sautéed bell pepper and green onion mixture.
