Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Flank steak
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Fresh ground black pepper
- 0.5 cups Blue cheese, crumbled
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is well coated, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to promote even browning.
Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
While the steak is grilling, prepare the blue cheese schmear. In a bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, softened cream cheese, lemon juice, heavy cream, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Once the steak is cooked, transfer it to a cutting board, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to retain juices.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and arrange on a serving platter.
Dollop or spread the blue cheese schmear over the sliced steak. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
