    Expert Tips That I Recommend 

    • Always let the steak come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps cook it evenly.
    • To enjoy a well-seasoned steak, rub salt and black pepper on both sides for at least 30-60 minutes.
    • Don’t rely solely on the five-minute cooking time, as it depends on the steak’s thickness. To be sure of the time, you can use an instant-read thermometer and check the temperature by inserting it into the thickest part of the steak.
    • Do not press the steak while cooking, as it releases flavorful juices and dries it out.
    • To enjoy a silky-smooth sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve.

    Recipe Variation for Different Diets 

    • Gluten-Free Version: Make sure tomato paste and dry red wine are gluten-free.
    • Keto-friendly: Add less tomato paste to make it keto-friendly.
    • Low-Sodium Version: Omit the salt completely to make it a low-sodium version.

    Storing And Reheating This Recipe 

    Storing

    • Let the steak cool completely, then wrap it in plastic wrap. Store it in the refrigerator, and it will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
    • To freeze it, wrap the steak in a freezer-safe bag. This way, it will remain fresh for 2-3 months.

    Reheating

    • Stovetop: Heat a skillet, add the steak, and warm over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. 
    • Air Fryer: Reheat the steak at 350 degrees F for 3-5 minutes per side. Then cover it for the last 1-2 minutes.

    What To Serve With This Recipe

    The Bobby Flay Flat Iron Steak Recipe pairs well with crispy French fries or onion rings. If you want something different, try pairing it with coleslaw and a garden salad to keep it fresh and healthier. Adding iced tea on the side is my all-time favorite way to enjoy it.
