Description
A flavorful flank steak marinated in a tangy balsamic mixture, then seared and topped with a rich blue cheese crust that melts into a savory finish.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Place flank steak in a resealable bag, pour marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Season lightly with additional salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Remove steak from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, mix blue cheese, breadcrumbs, and parsley.
- Preheat broiler. Spread blue cheese mixture evenly over the top of the steak. Broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Slice against the grain and serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the blue cheese to your preference, such as Gorgonzola or Stilton, for a different flavor profile.
