For this flat iron steak with balsamic reduction recipe, pepper-crusted flat iron steaks are pan seared then drizzled with a sweet and savory syrup.

Ingredients

3 pounds flat iron steak
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons coarsely ground mixed peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1 Brush flat iron steak with olive oil; press into ground peppercorns, then season with salt. Set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak; cook to desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a plate; keep warm.

3 Thinly slice steak against the grain; arrange on a serving platter. Pour reduced balsamic vinegar over top; sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.
