Beef Flat Iron Recipe with Garlic in 18 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Prep the meat. Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat it bone dry with paper towels on all sides.
2. Season aggressively. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the steak. Ensure every inch is covered including the thin sides.
3. Heat the pan. Place your skillet over medium high heat. Add the avocado oil and wait until it is shimmering and just starting to wisp smoke.
4. The initial sear. Carefully lay the steak into the pan, laying it away from you to avoid splashes. Press down lightly with tongs to ensure contact.
5. Develop the crust. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes without moving it until a dark brown crust has formed.
6. The flip. Turn the steak over. Immediately add the butter, smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan.
7. Baste the beef. Tilt the pan slightly so the melting butter pools at the bottom with the herbs. Use a spoon to constantly pour the hot, foaming butter over the steak.
8. Check the temp. Continue basting for 3 to 4 minutes until the internal temperature hits 52°C for medium rare.
9. The rest. Remove the steak to a cutting board. Pour the remaining pan juices over it and wait 5 to 8 minutes before slicing.
10. Slice and serve. Cut against the grain into thin strips to ensure maximum tenderness.
