Roasted Flat Iron Steak with Olive Oil-Herb Rub

What a treat for a mid week meal. I worked from home today so I started dinner at 5:30 and we sat down at the table at 6:30. No stress from sitting in traffic for over an hour. It was fun preparing a meal mid week. I know I am a geek but this is what I enjoy doing.

The recipe was from Cooking Light. I have made it before using the Flat Iron Steak and a Flank Steak. Flat Iron wins hands down. It was so tender and delicious. The herb rub was the perfect blend of flavors.

Roasted Flat Iron Steak with Olive Oil-Herb Rub

Ingredients-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 1/2-pound) flat iron steak, trimmed
Cooking spray
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium beef broth

Method-
Preheat oven to 400°.
Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over steak. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steak to pan; cook 1 minute on each side or until browned. Add wine and broth; cook 1 minute. Spread herb mixture over steak; place pan in oven. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Serve with pan sauce.
