Greek Flat Iron Steak

Of all the genres of food, my favorite is greek. One of our favorite local restaurants is Platia in Frisco, TX. https://www.platiagreek.com. It was there I discovered my love of Greek Flat Iron Steak, which they call “Brizola Steak” at the restaurant. Served with a side of tzatziki and lemon, this greek style sizzling steak is truly a treasure.

I recently hosted “Greek Night” at our home and served lamb chops, greek chicken kabobs and greek flat iron steak for the main course. In addition, we had lemony roasted potatoes, greek salad with homemade dressing, pita bread and a luscious whipped feta https://tanastastings.com/?p=393 This dinner menu was a huge success and I can’t wait to do it again!

Ingredients

  

• 1.5 lbs flat iron steak
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon wedges for serving
• For the Tzatziki Sauce:
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cucumber grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture
• 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• Prepare the Marinade:In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, rosemary, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
• Marinate the Steak:Place the flat iron steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
• Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce:While the steak marinates, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Chill in the fridge until serving.
• Cook the Steak:Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• Serve:Slice the steak thinly and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and the homemade tzatziki sauce on the side. For a complete meal, pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh Greek salad.
