For a deeper smoky flavor, use smoked paprika in place of some of the chili powder. Adjust the amount of chipotle chile powder to control the level of spiciness. Rest the cooked steak for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Serve with avocado slices, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a complete and delicious meal.

02
StepGenerously sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the flat iron steak, pressing it firmly into the meat to create an even coating. (5 minutes)
03
StepPlace the seasoned steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days for maximum flavor penetration. (30 minutes - 2 days)
04
StepRemove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. (30 minutes)
05
StepDrizzle the steak with vegetable oil and rub it evenly over the surface. (2 minutes)
