Ingredients

2 cups Montreal Steak Marinade optional
1 8-12 oz. Flat Iron Steak
3 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Salt
2 tsp. Black Pepper

Instructions

If preparing a marinade (like this Montreal steak marinade recipe) do so ahead of time. Place the steak in the marinade for 2-24 hours.
Preheat the charcoal or gas grill to high heat (over 550 degrees F.). Grease the grill grates if necessary.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Lightly oil the steak on both sides and add your favorite steak rub or coarse salt and pepper to both sides and let it rest 15-20 minutes before grilling.
Place the steak over direct heat over the grill grates and grill for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature and cook to the desired level of doneness (120-125F for rare, 130-135 F medium-rare).
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest 5-10 minutes before slicing into thin pieces. Add some grilled lemon over the top and some flaky sea salt if desired, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Acidity over the steak goes well! Try grilling some sliced lemon halves when grilling the steak and use them before serving and enjoy!
