I also love making a red wine marinade or using balsamic vinegar and lemon juice with fresh herbs to add flavor. Other marinades will work great here as long as there is a combination of fat and acidity. Plastic Bag or Container (for marinating)įor this recipe, I like to stick to my Montreal Steak Marinade recipe which uses a combination of extra virgin olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a variety of seasonings like salt, black pepper, fresh minced garlic, coriander, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.However, flat iron steak generally has less fat marbling than these other cuts, which can make it a slightly leaner and healthier option. Some people also compare flat iron steak to ribeye steak or New York strip steak in terms of its tenderness and beefy flavor. When purchasing this cut, the most common steak to compare it to would be flank steak or skirt steak based on the amount of fat and shape of the cut.
