Garlic Butter Skillet Flank Steak Oven Recipe

May 17, 2019 by Melissa 29 Comments

This Flank Steak Oven Recipe is so easy and perfect for busy weeknights. An affordable flank steak is portioned and cooked quickly in a traditional cast iron pan and elevated to restaurant quality with a quick and delicious garlic butter sauce.

 

This flank steak recipe starts with a 2 pound flank steak. I usually purchase mine from Costco in a two pack and freeze the second flank steak to use in my other flank steak recipes Sheet Pan Steak Fajita Recipe or Grilled Carne Asada.

Flank Steak Oven Recipe

This is a super easy flank steak recipe seared on the stove top and cooked in the oven. A flavor packed garlic butter sauce takes this flank steak from basic to restaurant quality.

This would be great served with:

  • Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes 
  • Instant Pot Mac and Cheese
  • Oven Roasted Potato Wedges
  • Oven Roasted Broccoli
  • Cheesy Roasted Asparagus

How to Cook Flank Steak

Start by cutting the flank steak into four equal portions. This is a great way to serve an inexpensive steak dinner, and it cooks so quickly it’s perfect even on a busy weeknight!

 

Skillet Flank Steak Recipe

Cast Iron Skillet Steak

For this recipe, use a good old-fashioned cast iron pan. Sear the seasoned flank steaks quickly on both sides, then transfer them to the oven for a very short amount of time to finish cooking. Finally, while the steaks are resting, whip up a delicious pan sauce that will take the steak from simple to restaurant style.

These steaks will cook very quickly, in just a matter of minutes depending on thickness.

    I hate when people rate a recipe but haven’t tried it yet. That being said, I did try this recipe and I loved it. I’m grill-less and have been attempting stovetop/oven recipes for steak with much failure. This has been the first one that has successfully turned out and was delicious to boot. So simple and so good. Awesome recipe!

      Omg Susan, I couldn’t agree more!! I haaaaaaate scrolling through the comments looking for helpful hints or advice…and I find that most of the “ratings” aren’t true at all b/c they haven’t tried it yet. Whyyyyy RATE a recipe you’ve never tasted?! Anyways…. I made this tonight and it was delicious!! So quick and easy, the garlic butter sauce definitely takes it to a restaurant quality recipe. We have no leftovers lol
