Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

marinade for flat iron steaks


On one of Howard's journal entries he showed the flat iron steaks you had grilled.

I can't remember the date of that entry....I think he had written that you had a marinade for them.

If so, can you post that somewhere?

thanks so much....
Mel

Flat iron steaks, also known as skirt steak or churassco in latin restaurants are my favorite. Any marinade will do it just depends on your taste preference. I like to use Ken's mostly because those sauces are lower in sugar. The traditional way to cook them on the grill was to just place argentinian salt on them while they are on the bbq and it tenderizes the meat. This is not your normal table salt.
I like using Kens chicken wing hot sauce bbq and adding franks hot sauce (yes I like my food spicy). Jamaican jerk sauces are great and so is Moores or Dales marinade sauce. The steak is well marbled which makes it a perfect candidate for the grill.

This is the recipe I used, it came from allrecipes.com:

Perfect Flat Iron Steak

Ingredients:

2 lbs flat iron steak
2 1/2 tbls olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 tsp fresh chives, chopped
1/4 c Cabernet Sauvignon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp dry mustard powder

Directions:

1. Place steak inside a large resealable bag.  In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, chives, Cabernet, salt, pepper, and mustard powder.  Pour over the steak in the bag.  Press out as much air as you can and seal the bag.  Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.

2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Fry the steak in the hot skillet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or to your desired degree of doneness.  Discard the marinade.  These steaks taste best at medium rare.  Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

*I grilled mine and they turned out great.

Although simple, this marinade enhances the flavor of the meat, whether filet or flank steak.  No offense to the above recipes, but I prefer tasting a good cut of meat rather than too many spices, especially really hot.

Barely cover your steaks with beer (the cheaper the better) and add a sufficiency of Soy sauce to color the beer to resemble strong tea.  Very simple, yet adds too any cut.

What I don't spend on seasonings is invested in a bottle of robust  Rodney Strong Knotty Vines Zinfandel.

Thanks Linda.....I tried cooking several on Sat. and made up my own marinade and grilled them in a George Forman....they came out great!  I had never heard about this cut of steak...can't believe I never noticed them in the meat section. 

They are tender too....especially after marinade!! 

I will try your marinade next time...just bought some more today.
