Fire up the grill you are going to want to throw a couple of these Balsamic Herbed Flat Iron Steaks on it now!Balsamic Herbed Flat Iron SteakI love throwing a steak on the grill on a hot summer night along with some grilled veggies  and the perfect summer salad.  No oven necessary.   It is one of my favorite summer meals.  Of course some homemade ice cream afterwards is always a good idea.  I love to keep steaks on hand in my freezer so I always have something to throw on the grill.  I recently discovered Butcher Box – it is a monthly membership that delivers 100% grass-fed beef, organic chicken, and Heritage Breed pork directly to your door.  It’s kind of like the neighborhood butcher for modern America. The meat was delicious and of the highest quality.  I was super impressed.  If you’d like to try it you can use the code homebasedmom  When you use this code at checkout, you will get $10off your first box and 10oz of Whole 30 approved, uncured, no-sugars added bacon.

Grilling a steak is easy to do and the only problem is the risk of overcooking the meat.  I use to be a well done kind of girl but in my older years I have learned to like and appreciate a medium piece of meat.  I was amazed how much more flavor the steak had when you didn’t cook it to death!  I have discovered the secret to the perfectly cooked steak – a meat thermometer! I couldn’t find the one I have on Amazon, I had received it as a promotional gift from a company but the one I linked to got great reviews. Get yourself one if you don’t have one!

No matter how you like your meat cooked, rare, medium, or well done, a thermometer is going to give you the best results.  Cutting into the meat while it is on the grill to see how it is doing is not the answer.  When you do that you release all those delicious juices that are inside and you don’t want to lose those!  Use a thermometer! To get those great grill marks rotate the meat 1/4 turn half way through cooking on that side and you’ll get the criss cross marks.

Another trick to a great steak is to undercook it slightly and then take it off the grill and let it sit for about 5 minutes, the meat will continue to cook.

You don’t have to buy an expensive cut of meat to get a delicious steak.  For today’s recipe I used a flat iron steak which gets it’s name because the shape is like that of an old fashioned iron.  You can grill flat iron steak as it is but I think it does well with a little marinating, it makes for a more tender and flavorful cut of meat. I also think this cut of meat does its best at a medium temperature.  If you like a well done piece of meat it might not be as flavorful.

I marinated the steak is a combination of balsamic vinegar, beef broth, olive oil and seasoning.  It gives the meat great flavor without being too overpowering.
