Step 1
Start by patting the flat-iron steaks dry with paper towels—this helps the seasoning stick and promotes a beautiful crust. In a small bowl, combine the lemon pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. I like to mix a bit extra to have on hand. Generously sprinkle both sides of each steak with the spice blend, pressing gently so it adheres. Wrap the steaks tightly in plastic wrap and let them rest in the fridge for at least two hours

Step 3
When you’re ready to cook, take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. I find that oiling the grates lightly prevents sticking. Unwrap the steaks and place them on the hot grill. Cook for about 3 minutes on the first side, then flip and grill for another 3 minutes for a perfect medium-rare. Use an instant-read thermometer if you like—120°F internal temp. Remove from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. This step keeps all those juices locked in.
