steak comes off the grill<\/a> with a juicy interior, a crust full of BBQ spices, and a restaurant-level finish.<\/p>\nIf you\u2019ve never tried it, this is your sign to give it a shot the next time you\u2019re grilling<\/keyword>.<\/p>\n\n
\n
Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n- 2 flat iron steaks (about 1\u20131.5 lbs)<\/span><\/li>\n
- 4 – 5\u00a0 tablespoons mayonnaise for each steak<\/span><\/li>\n
- 1\u20132 tablespoons BBQ rub (store-bought or homemade)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n
\n
Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t
1<\/span><\/p>\n\n
Pat Dry: Use a paper towel to dry the steak. This helps the marinade cling better.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t
2<\/span><\/p>\n\n
Coat with Mayonnaise: Spread mayonnaise evenly over both sides of the steak.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t
3<\/span><\/p>\n\n
Add BBQ Rub: Sprinkle the BBQ rub on top and press it lightly so it sticks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t
4<\/span><\/p>\n\n
Marinate: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t
5<\/span><\/p>\n\n
1. Preheat the Grill: Heat to medium-high, around 450\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t
6<\/span><\/p>\n\n
2. Oil the Grates (Optional): Since mayonnaise already helps prevent sticking, this step is optional.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t
7<\/span><\/p>\n\n
3. Grill the Flat Iron Steak:<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t
8<\/span><\/p>\n\n
Place steak on the grill.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t
9<\/span><\/p>\n\n
Cook for 4\u20135 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t
10<\/span><\/p>\n\n
Rest Before Slicing: Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Notes<\/h3>\nA BBQ Rub that is a sweet heat style is a good choice.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
