Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak with Blue Cheese Crust

Balsamic marinated flank steak topped with a simple, yet delicious blue cheese crust.[1]

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 – 2 lbs flank steak
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 green onions, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
  • ½ tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Combine marinade ingredients in a 9″x13″ glass baking dish and whisk together. Score the top of the flank steak in 1″ sections. Place the steak in the marinade, marinating each side for 30-45 minutes, spooning extra marinade into the scores when scored side is up.[1]
  2. Preheat broiler. Broil steak smooth side up for 3 minutes, flip and broil 3 more minutes.[1]
  3. Melt butter and combine with panko bread crumbs. Flip steak so scored side is up, press blue cheese crumbles into the scores, sprinkle bread crumbs on top, and broil 5 more minutes until browned and bubbly.[1]
  4. Allow to rest 10-15 minutes, then slice thin against the grain.

Notes

Spoon extra marinade into the scores for better flavor infusion. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness. Let rest before slicing to retain juices.[1]
