Description

Flat iron steak is marinated in two kinds of vermouth and then seasoned with red pepper flakes just before frying. A friend tried something like this in Texas and this was our version of it.

Ingredients

1 (2 pound) flat iron steak
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1/4 cup sweet vermouth
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

Directions

1 Place steak into a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour in the dry vermouth and sweet vermouth and stir to coat the steak. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 6 hours to marinate.
2 Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Season the steak on both sides with red pepper flakes. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired degree of doneness. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
