Description
A succulent flank steak marinated in tangy balsamic vinegar and garlic, then seared and topped with a creamy blue cheese crust. Perfect for a special dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1.5 lbs flank steak
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place flank steak in a resealable bag and pour marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and sear steak for 3 minutes per side.
- In a small bowl, mix crumbled blue cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and parsley. Press mixture onto the top of the seared steak.
- Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a milder blue cheese flavor, use a creamy gorgonzola.
