Pub-Style Flat Iron Steak with Beer Gravy

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pub-Style Flat Iron Steak with Beer Gravy.

1. Step 1

   Start by giving your flat iron steaks a gentle rub with a pinch of salt, then let them rest for about 30 minutes.

2. Step 2

   This allows the seasoning to really soak in and enhances the flavor.

3. Step 3

   While the steaks are resting, preheat your oven to a cozy 385°F (190°C).

4. Step 4

   Next, take one clove of garlic and mince it finely, setting it aside for later.

5. Step 5

   For the remaining two cloves, simply cut off the tops, drizzle them with a splash of olive oil, and wrap them snugly in foil.

6. Step 6

   Pop the wrapped garlic into your preheated oven and let it roast for around 25 minutes, or until it’s tender and beautifully browned.

7. Step 7

   Once done, remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool.

8. Step 8

   Now, let’s whip up a delicious beer gravy! In a bowl, combine pale ale, stout, Worcestershire sauce, hoisin sauce, and brown sugar, whisking them together until well blended.

9. Step 9

   Set this flavorful mixture aside for now.

10. Step 10

    In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

11. Step 11

    Once melted, lower the heat and add in the minced shallot, cooking it gently until it caramelizes, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Stir in the minced garlic and the roasted garlic, letting them cook together until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

13. Step 13

    Next, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and a sprinkle of flour to the saucepan, stirring to create a smooth roux.

14. Step 14

    Cook this for about 4 minutes, then gradually whisk in your beer mixture, allowing it to thicken before adding more.

15. Step 15

    Once everything is combined, let the gravy simmer and reduce for about 10 minutes.

16. Step 16

    Don’t forget to season it with salt and black pepper to taste, making sure it’s just right.

17. Step 17

    Now, let’s get to the steaks! In a large skillet over medium heat, melt some clarified butter.

18. Step 18

    Add the steaks to the skillet and cook them for about 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.

19. Step 19

    Then, crank up the heat to medium-high and give the steaks a quick sear for an additional minute on each side to lock in that juicy goodness.

20. Step 20

    Once they’re done, transfer the steaks to a plate and tent them with foil, allowing them to rest for 8 to 10 minutes.

21. Step 21

    When you’re ready to serve, plate the steaks and generously ladle that rich, savory beer gravy over the top.
