Allow at least 4 hours to marinate the steaks. ![]() You’ll likely need to buy two flat iron steaks, but even if you’re able to find a large one, it’s best to cut it in half the steaks will cook faster and you’ll have more surface area to char on the grill. Additionally, the sugar in the marinade encourages caramelization on the grill, which amps up the flavor even more. The main ingredient in my marinade is soy sauce, which may seem unusual, but it enhances the umami (meaty/savory) flavor of the meat. It’s an affordable, widely available cut that’s almost as tender as filet mignon, and it’s ideal for high-heat, quick-cooking methods like grilling. The carne asada, or Mexican-style grilled steak, at most Tex-Mex restaurants is made with skirt steak, but when I make carne asada at home, I prefer to use flat iron steak. ![]() Photo by Johnny Miller, Clarkson Potter 2021) ![]()
