Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Blue Cheese Butter

  • Pair with Cabernet Sauvignon
Primary Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds flat iron steak

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon cracked black pepper

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped 

1 teaspoon oregano, chopped

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter

1 ounce crumbled blue cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Primary Technique
  1. Combine vinegar, garlic, 1 tablespoon black pepper, rosemary, oregano, and kosher salt in a bowl along with the olive oil, whisking to emulsify. Place the flat iron steak into a resealable plastic bag, and pour on the marinade. Squeeze the excess air from the bag and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Remove steak from the marinade, shake off excess/ pat dry and discard the remaining marinade. Allow the steak to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes as the grill warms.
  3. Combine the butter, blue cheese, chives, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper; set aside. Cook the steak on the preheated grill to the desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Allow the steak to rest in a warm place for 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain. Serve with a dollop of blue cheese-chive butter.
