FLAT IRON STEAKS WITH MUSHROOM AND PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Flat Iron Steaks With Mushroom and Peppercorn Sauce image

Flat Iron Steak is a well kept secret. Full of Beef flavor, it's is one of the "perfect for the grill" steaks as it is uniform in shape and thickness. It is also a great cut for marinating. You will want a grill safe skillet for this recipe-I use cast iron.
