Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 pounds flat iron steaks
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.

Step 2

Stir together the paprika, salt, sugar, chili powder, chipotle powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a small bowl until blended. Rub the seasoning mix all over the flat iron steaks, then wrap them tightly with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 8 hours (the longer the better).

Step 3

Cook the steaks on the preheated grill until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes in a warm location before slicing.
