This is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in just twenty minutes flat. Flat iron steak is such an underrated cut, and when you smother it in this creamy, tangy parmesan pepper sauce, it becomes something really special. I love using sour cream as the base because it's affordable and adds richness without weighing you down. The garlic and caramelized onions bring so much flavor that you won't believe how simple this recipe actually is. Trust me, this dish will become a regular on your table.
