• brush steak with olive oil, then press into ground peppercorns and season with salt; set aside. melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. add flat iron, and cook to desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• once the steak has finished cooking, remove to a plate and keep warm. stir the minced garlic into the skillet, and cook over medium heat until the garlic begins to brown around the edges, about 1 minute. pour in the balsamic vinegar, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer until the vinegar has reduced by half.
