01
Step 1
Mix together the paprika, salt, sugar, chili powder, chipotle powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a small bowl until everything is well combined. Rub this seasoning all over the flat iron steaks, making sure they’re fully coated. Then, wrap them up tightly in plastic wrap and pop them in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours — but if you can leave them for longer, even better.

Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick oiling to prevent sticking. Place the steaks on the grill and cook them for about 4 minutes on each side if you like them medium — adjust the time if you prefer it more or less done. Once they’re cooked, let the steaks rest somewhere warm for about 5 minutes before slicing into them. This helps keep all those juices locked in.
Why you’ll love it
This steak is full of bold, fresh flavors thanks to the mix of three different peppers. It’s easy to make and cooks quickly, making it perfect for a weeknight meal or a special dinner. The seasoning helps bring out the rich, beefy taste without overpowering it.
How to serve
Pair this steak with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. It also goes well with mashed potatoes or a light chimichurri sauce to add a bright, herby flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a skillet or oven to keep it tender and juicy. Avoid microwaving to prevent it from drying out.
