Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 (2 pound) flat iron steak
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2.5 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 0.25 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
• 0.25 cup Cabernet Sauvignon (or other dry red wine)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour marinade over steak in the bag. Press out as much air as you can and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.

Step 2

Place steak inside a large resealable bag. Stir olive oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, chives, red wine, salt, pepper, and mustard powder together in a small bowl.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place steak in the hot skillet and discard any remaining marinade; sear and cook steak for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, or to your desired degree of doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare.

Step 4

Allow steak to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
