Flatiron steaks are a fantastic choice for a weeknight or dinner party. They are tender and fairly lean and do just as well on the grill as in a hot skillet. They can have a robust flavor, so you can pair them with strong sauces like the mustardy caper and herb sauce in this recipe without overwhelming the meat.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained and chopped
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small clove garlic, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 flat-iron steaks (about 8 ounces each)
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high. Stir together the mustard, olive oil, capers, vinegar, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, the Worcestershire sauce and garlic in a large bowl. Stir in the parsley, chives and 2 tablespoons water and season with salt and pepper; set the caper sauce aside.
- Lightly rub the steaks with olive oil. Mix together 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon brown sugar, then rub on both sides of the steaks. Oil the grill grates. Grill the steaks 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
- Slice the steaks against the grain and top with some of the caper sauce; serve the rest on the side.
