Instructions
Peel and mince the 2 cloves of garlic.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and the minced garlic; mix well to form the marinade.
Place 1 1/2 pounds flat iron steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, turning or pressing the bag so the steak is evenly coated. Cover or seal. Marinate for at least 5 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. If refrigerated, let the steak sit at room temperature about 20–30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Pat the surface lightly dry with paper towels if you want a better sear.
Place the steak on the preheated grill and cook about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time to reach your preferred doneness.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve.
