Tips:

Choose a good quality steak: Look for a steak that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help the steak stay tender and juicy during cooking.
Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your desired doneness: The USDA recommends cooking steak to an internal temperature of 145°F for medium rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well done.
Let the steak rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for steak include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and grilled asparagus.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese flat iron steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The steak is cooked over high heat to create a nice crust, and then it is finished with a creamy blue cheese sauce. The steak is tender and juicy, and the blue cheese sauce is rich and flavorful.
