Description
A tender flank steak marinated in a tangy balsamic mixture, then topped with a savory blue cheese crust that melts into a golden, flavorful finish.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1.5 lbs flank steak
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a large resealable bag, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak, 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 with additional salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
- In a small bowl, mix blue cheese, panko, melted butter, and parsley until crumbly.
- Transfer skillet to oven and cook for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare. Remove and press the blue cheese mixture evenly over the top of the steak.
- Return to oven and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese crust is bubbly and golden.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve warm.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a milder blue cheese, use Gorgonzola.
