Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the flank steak.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Place the seasoned flank steak onto the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a different level of doneness.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the heat and place it on a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 6

While the steak is resting, prepare the horseradish sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well-combined and smooth.

Step 7

Just before serving, stir the chopped chives into the horseradish sauce for added freshness.

Step 8

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Step 9

Serve the sliced steak with a dollop of horseradish sauce on the side. Optionally, drizzle the pan juices over the top for added flavor.
