For enhanced flavor, marinate the flat iron steak for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs before grilling.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the flat iron steak in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings, such as toasted nuts, dried cranberries, or avocado slices.
For a creamier sauce, add a tablespoon of butter to the skillet during the last minute of the red wine reduction.
The quality of the Italian dressing will significantly impact the flavor. Opt for a high-quality or homemade dressing if possible.
