The flat iron is one of the most tender muscles on the steer, matched only by the tenderloin. A quick, high-heat sear is all it needs.

Ingredients & method
Ingredients
- 2 flat iron steaks (about 200 g each)
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, skin on, crushed
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- Flaky sea salt and coarse black pepper
Method
- 1Remove steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 2Heat a cast-iron skillet over the highest heat until smoking. Add the oil and lay in the steaks — do not move them for 2 minutes until a crust forms.
- 3Flip the steaks. Add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the pan. Once the butter foams, tilt the pan and baste the steaks continuously for 90 seconds.
- 4For medium-rare, the steaks need about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a warm board and rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Chef's tip
The flat iron has a seam of connective tissue running through the centre — ask your butcher to remove it, or slice around it when serving.
