Instructions
The flat iron steak
- Remove the flat iron steak from the fridge an hour in advance and let it reach room temperature. Pat the meat dry with a paper towel and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
- Prepare the barbecue. Place the flat iron steak on the barbecue and grill both sides for a few minutes, so that it turns brown.
- Then we let the flat iron steak cook slowly. Prepare the barbecue for indirect grilling and place the meat on the grid. Monitor the temperature of the meat with a meat thermometer. The flat iron steak is a thin piece of meat, so you should not leave it on the barbecue for too long.
- Remove the meat from the barbecue when it reaches a core temperature of 48 – 50 °C. Let it rest for 5 minutes, while it is loosely covered with aluminum foil. This allows the meat juices to spread well through the meat.
- Cut the meat into thin slices against the grain of the meat. This makes the meat more tender. Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the meat, if desired.

- Add the sambal and the spices and let the mixture set on low heat for a few minutes. In the meantime, keep stirring the sauce regularly.
- Spoon the sauce over the sliced meat pieces.
