Yum! I don't have a grill, so I cooked them in a skillet on the stove. Wonderful flavor and oh so rich and tender!

This is a 10-star recipe! The flavors of the wine, garlic and herbs blended beautifully with the steak. It is a very "elegant" marinade and would be perfect for guest or a romantic evening with your sweetheart. But please don't just save it for a special occasion, it is good enough to be eaten anytime! Thank you for sharing such a great recipe. We really enjoyed it!

This was awesome! We loved this. I did leave out the wine this time because I didn't have any. Still very flavorful, and super tender. Can't wait to make this one again. Next time I'll use the Cabernet as well.

Hi Cheryl, I made this tonight and it was wonderful! I cooked the steaks stove top on my Scanpan ridged grill, and followed your directions for the marinade precisely. The taste was great and I was somewhat surprised that the meat was as tender as it turned out to be. For a very inexpensive cut of beef, it was excellent. Obserevation: Your recipe calls for 2 pounds of beef for 2 servings. That seems a little excessive to me. Should the recipe indicate that it's sufficient for 4 diners? Or, so that you don't have to adjust the ingredients for the marinade, perhaps cut the meat to a total of 1 pound and indicate that it's for 2 diners? I've never tried any of your recipes that was anything but a success when I prepared it. You are very talented. Also, your photos are an inspiration to me as I pursue my new hobby of digital photography. Thanks for all of your contributions!

This was a very good recipe. For the first time the actual marinaded flavors came through. We had a lovely cabernet that went well "with" the meal as well. We used a gas grill and added another minute to each side. The steak was tender and juicy. Don't recommend overcooking, this was delicious medium rare. Thanks NcMysteryShopper!

Thanks for this yummy recipe Cheryl. Noah gobbled this up! I added extra rosemary as there is such a large bush right outside the kitchen door! Flat Iron Steaks are surprisingly tender. YUM!

I saw flat iron steak on a restaurant menu and was intrigued, so I looked for it at the market and then found this recipe. The steak was so flavorful and juicy, and this marinade was the perfect complement.

I have to admit I was skeptical about using this cut of meat. For whatever reason I always thought flat iron steak would be a tough cut and probably not worth buying. When I saw all the other reviews, I decided to give this a try (being on sale this week for $3.99/lb also helped). I understand now why everyone rates this so high. It was delicious. I only made a couple of very minor changes ... didn't have any fresh parsley so used dried (1 tsp); I seldom bother with fresh garlic anymore and use the bottled minced garlic ... used 2 tsp. of that. Also, I let it marinade for about 3 hours. Everything was to the recipe. I'll be buying more of this steak while it's on sale for future dinners ... we all loved it.
