Flat Iron Steaks

This was a good meal on a relaxing Saturday. Not as good as a high quality New York Strip or Ribeye, but good for a relatively cheap cut of meat. Be sure not to overcook it or it will get very tough.

Ingredients:
1-2 flat iron steaks, as uniform in thickness as possible
1 tablespoon of sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons kosher sea salt
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Combine all of the rub ingredients. Coat 2 flat iron steaks in olive oil and season liberally with the rub.

Set your grill up for direct cooking over medium-high heat (450 and 500°). For medium rare, grill the steaks for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they reach 130°. Let the steaks rest at least 5 minutes before serving.
