Ready in: 15 mins

Ingredients

Makes: 1 steak

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 flat iron steak (or more)

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1. Combine sugar, salt, lemon-pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Coat steak with olive oil, then season both sides of meat with spice rub, 1 teaspoon per side.
2. Heat your gas or charcoal grill to high (Here’s how to tell if it’s high: Hold your hand about four inches above the cooking surface. After 2 to 3 seconds, the heat will force you to pull your hand away.)
3. Oil the grill grate, using an oiled rag.
4. Place the steak on the grill. Use these cooking times to cook your steak to medium: 2 to 3 minutes per side for a 1/2 inch thick steak, 4 to 6 minutes per side for a 1 inch thick steak, 6 to 9 minutes per side for a 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick steak.
5. Take the steak off the grill. Let it rest 2 to 3 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb into the steak. Serve.Note

Recipe makes a little over 1/2 cup of spice rub, enough for 12 steaks.
