This past summer I shared a recipe for Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Tomato Salad. I think that it is the perfect way to enjoy steak during the summer, but now that we are well into fall, I wanted to share a recipe that would fit perfectly at your fall dinner table. Enter this Broiled Flat Iron Steak with Herb Roasted Mushrooms.
With the holidays coming, so are the dinner parties. So now is a good time to start getting those menu planning gears in motion. This steak NEEDS to be on your list. It’s a dish that will make your guests “oh” “ah” and “mmm” all at once. It sounds all kinds of fancy but it is beyond easy to make. You’ll even have time to spend hanging out with your guests. Crazy thought right?!
At 20 minute roasting time, preparing the mushrooms is what takes the longest in this recipe, but it’s totally worth it. Roasting them gives them this sweet earthy flavor. Throw in the fresh herbs and roasted garlic and you’ve got my new favorite topping for steaks.
Speaking of steaks, this one doesn’t get much in the way of seasoning, because it doesn’t need it. Just a little salt and pepper and you’re good to go. But because this is a flat iron steak, be sure not to cook it much more then medium. I say medium rare is the best, otherwise you’ll find that it’s too tough.
And no one likes a tough steak, trust me.
Also trust me when I say that you and your guests will LOVE this steak. It’s too perfectly simple and delicious not to.

It is one of my favorite cuts of meat!

Okay, seriously, you have no idea how much a steak lover I am. I want to hop on a plane and head to your house immediately. This is stellar.
That is totally my kind of steak! I love the mushrooms on top, adore flat iron as a cut of meat, and like my steak rare so I know it wouldn’t be tough.
I just had flat iron steak for the first time this weekend. So good!! Love this quick recipe for a party.
Twenty minutes to a tasty steak sounds good to me!

My husband would LOVE this! Actually my whole family would. I don’t cook steak often and when I do it’s usually on the grill. Would love to try this next time instead! It looks delicious!!
