Flat-Iron Steak with Balsamic Glaze

1 flat iron steak, about 1¼ pounds

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon favorite all-purpose seasoning for steak such as Montreal Steak seasoning

Refrigerate steak for at least 30 min-utes. Preheat grill to medium-high or turn on broiler. Remove steak from refrigerator 15 minutes before you are ready to cook it. Place on grill and cook about 6 to minutes on one side or until it has nice grill marks. Turn over. Move to a cooler part of the grill. Finish cooking, about another 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare. Remove steak from grill. Let it rest 5 minutes. Cut steak into thin slices across grain. Arrange on serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic glaze or serve it on side.
