Ingredients

  1. 15 cloves garlic
  2. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  3. ½ cup olive oil
  4. 4 (8 ounce) flat iron steaks
  5. salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Arrange garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over garlic.
  3. Bake garlic in preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once to prevent burning. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  4. Place cooled garlic and 1/2 cup olive oil in a food processor; blend until mixture is a paste.

  6. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the steaks until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), about 5 minutes per side. Remove the whole pan from the heat and let stand until steaks reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), or your desired degree of doneness.

I like to cook my flat iron steaks in a marinade or just some beef broth after I’ve browned them. I find braising tough cuts really tenderizes them and they are tastier than lots of other cuts.

The cut of meat I had took more than 5 min.per side to get to 135. Overall it was a tasty steak.

I love garlic, so any recipe calling for 15 cloves automatically p has my attention. I do think that 1/2 c olive oil, however, is about twice as much as you need to make the rub. I’d make it again, but using 1/4 c oil

This recipe was simply and didn’t require a ton of ingredients. It was quick to prepare and cook. Finally even though it is a garlic recipe it wasn’t over garlicky.

I have a suggestion. Purple garlic and other photos do not look appetizing. Whomever is sending these photo, hope you guys can do a better job with the camera. Great idea of roasting and then adding some fresh to the mixture!!
Crystal Parker
Very simple and flavorful for garlic lovers, which we are. I did salt the flat iron steak overnight to tenderize it.
Veronica Spencer MD
This was fabulous! My family and I loved this and it was so easy…Will definitely be a repeat in our household. I did not make any substitutions as it was not necessary…
Tracy Harris
This was okay. Didn’t give it as much flavor as I had hoped for.
Eileen Weaver
so easy and so good thanks

The garlic sauce was too thin . I think you could do it with a third cup of oil. Steaks were very good but too greasy. I will drop the oil content next time.

Good

DELICIOUS! This was a first time for me making flat iron steaks, and they turned out great! I did use more roasted garlic than called for. I seasoned my steaks w/ s&p, slathered the roasted garlic mixture all over, covered and refrigerated it until I was ready to cook them, so they had time to get extra yummy and flavorful. Everyone loved this, and I will def be making this again! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

This recipe was fast, easy and delicious! Flatiron steak is not a very tender cut of meat, usually. But the way this turned out was amazing, and not even the tough bites of the steak diminished my enjoyment! I have some Smoked Spanish Paprika that I threw on the steak before putting the garlic spread. WOW – great way to ramp up a good thing even more! Definitely will make this again!

I used exact amounts and used only two flat iron steaks. First off 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil was to much oil to make a paste–for me. I personally think it could have used more garlic due to the fact it did not really have much flavor-i only tasted a “HINT” of garlic. Not what I was expecting since i only used two steaks and 15 cloves (and cloves were not small). Husband said he would have liked it better with just flour, salt, pepper breading. I do like the fact that olive oil was used making it more healthier. I “might” make it again with some adjustments. Cutting the olive oil in the paste an adding some fresh crushed garlic to the paste to give it more of a garlic flavor. I think by roasting the garlic it does not have that “zing” of a garlic flavor I was looking forward to.

The recipe is very good and I have been using it myself for some time. One thing that I wish to point out is that the flat iron steak is known to be the second-most tender cut of beef, following the tenderloin, but with better flavor (at least in my opinion). The garlic paste does not make the steak more tender (that is from the amount of fat in the meat), but it blends perfectly with the beefiness of the steak. Another name for the cut of meat is “top blade chuck steak.”
Veronica Patel
I have never used this cut of steak before, so I was worried about how it would taste. I looked this recipe up and decided to try it with garlic potato Pirogies. I must say, this is one of the best steaks I have cooked. Very tender and amazingly flavorful. Great!
Alyssa Miller
I love garlic and after reading how kids like this I will make this tonight! My daughter is picky when it comes to meat but I am sure she will like this one. Thanks for the recipe.
Nicole Johnston

i made this for dinner on 3/22/11 then made this over and over again at least a good 11 times this is now my familes go to steak recipe thanks to you making it again for the 12th time on 7/6/2011 : i finally found a way to make a tender steak thank you so much i also added mrs. dash garlic and herb seasoning to the steak rub and yummy will do again and again because the steak was not tough at all the secret is the olive oil!!! :)…….oh by the way you can do this a number of ways i have i used minced garlic in a jar works just fine to cut on time and good ol montreal steak seasoning also works too but you must and i do say must use the olive oil! another tip: can also add a bit of onion powder too. either way i still get a yummy steak with the mrs. dash or the montreal seasoning as long as i am using olive oil to marinate it. WONDERFUL GRILL RECIPE FOR A STEAK TOO!!!
Christine Vega
YUM!!! So easy and SO delicious! This is my go-to recipe for this type of steak, but it’s great on chicken too! I added a few cloves of fresh garlic to the paste and cooked it on a George Foreman-type grill, and it couldn’t be better. Thanks!
