I'm always looking for great recipes and experiment alot. Every once in awhile, I discover one that just cries out to be shared. The following is just such a recipe.

Categories     Steak

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 ounces bag frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/3 cup pine nuts
4 ounces blue cheese
2 tablespoons minced roasted garlic
1 1/4-1 1/2 lbs flank steaks

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE



GRILLED FLANK STEAK STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE image

Categories     Beef

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1¾- to 2-pound flank steak
4 ounces crumbly blue cheese
2 ounces baby spinach
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for indirect grilling. If charcoal, set the coals on one side of the charcoal grate, leaving the other side cool. If gas, turn one or two burners on high, leaving the other side cool. Lay the steak on a cutting board, and pound it out until it is about ¼-inch thick. Sprinkle with salt (keeping in mind that the blue cheese is a little salty) and pepper. With one long side toward you, cover the steak with spinach to within an inch of the other edge. Top with crumbled blue cheese. Working from the long side that is toward you, roll the steak, tucking the spinach and blue cheese in as you go. Set seam side down on the cutting board, and tie, at about 2-inch intervals, with kitchen twine. Make sure the roll is tied close to both ends to keep the stuffing in. Season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grate using tongs and a paper towel soaked in oil. Sear the stuffed steak directly over the coals, about 3 minutes per side, treating it as if it had 4 sides. Once it's seared, move the steak to the cool side of the grill and lower the lid. Let it cook for 25 to 35 minutes, or until it's reached an internal temperature of 130 degrees for medium rare. Remove the steak to a warm platter, and tent with foil for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice the steak into ½-inch pinwheels, 2 to 3 per person.

BLUE CHEESE FLANK STEAK



BLUE CHEESE FLANK STEAK image

Categories     Beef

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 beef flank steak (1 pound)
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first six ingredients. Add the steak; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally. Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill beef, covered, over medium-hot heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let stand for 5 minutes; thinly slice across the grain. Sprinkle with blue cheese. Yield: 4 servings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds and has a nice marbling of fat. This will help the steak stay tender and juicy during cooking.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or you can get more creative with your marinade. Just be sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it cooks quickly and evenly. This will help to keep the steak tender and juicy. You can cook the steak on a grill, in a skillet, or even in the oven.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Flank steak is a thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly. Be careful not to overcook it, or it will become tough and chewy. Cook the steak for just a few minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The steak is marinated in a flavorful marinade and then cooked over high heat until tender and juicy. The blue cheese sauce is the perfect complement to the steak, adding a rich and creamy flavor. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
