• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 pounds flat iron steaks

1. Stir together the paprika, salt, sugar, chili powder, chipotle powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a small bowl until blended.
2. Rub the seasoning mix all over the flat iron steaks, and then wrap them tightly with plastic wrap.
3. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 4 hours (the longer the better).
4. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.
5. Cook the steaks on the preheated grill until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes in a warm location before slicing.
