Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Blue Cheese and Chive Butter

Ingredients List

• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper

• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

• ¼ cup olive oil

• 1 ½ pounds flat iron steak

• 3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter

• 1 ounce crumbled blue cheese

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

• ⅛ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, rosemary, oregano, and kosher salt. Pour the mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add the steak, ensuring it is well coated with the marinade. Seal the bag, remove excess air, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade. Allow the steak to rest at room temperature as the grill heats up.

3. While the grill is heating, blend together butter, blue cheese, chives, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

4. Grill the steaks for about 5 minutes per side until they are firm with a juicy, slightly pink center. The internal temperature should reach 130°F (54°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Top with a generous spoonful of the blue cheese-chive butter before serving.
