How To Make easy flat iron steak in wine sauce
-
Step 1Allow the steaks to come to room temperature (important)
-
Step 2Wisk 2 T olive oil, cayenne pepper, paprika, pepper, salt, mustard powder, and garlic powder.
-
Step 3Prick steaks with a fork and rub them well with the paste. Let sit for 30 miniutes.

Step 4Heat your cast iron skillet med. hot and add the remaining 3 T of olive oil. When smoking, add 2 of the 4 steaks (all 4 if your skillet is large enough). Sear to desired doneness without burning the spices (turn down and cover if need be). I prefer a med steak instead of Jackie B.'s recommended rare.

Step 5Remove steaks from skillet with tongs and let rest.

Step 6add red wine, balsamic vinegar, and kitchen bouquet to skillet. Stir in mushrooms. Simmer until all is reduced somewhat, and hot.
