Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus for rolls
1 tablespoon hot sauce
6 cloves garlic
1 flank steak (about 3 pounds)
Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
6 hero sandwich rolls
Roasted Tomatoes, recipe follows
Watercress
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium red onions, sliced 1/3-inch thick
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 cup low sodium-canned chicken broth
Blue Cheese Sauce:
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup mayonnaise or sour cream, or combination
1 lemon, zest finely grated
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ripe plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 5 fresh thyme sprigs
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix the Worcestershire, olive oil, hot sauce, and 5 cloves of chopped garlic in a large glass baking dish. Add the steak and swish around, turning until evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours, flipping the steak once or twice.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and when shimmering add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally; until the onions are brown, about 8 minutes, then stir in the garlic, salt, thyme, and hot sauce, cook until onions are tender, about 4 minutes more. Add the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until all the chicken broth is gone, and then season with pepper. Set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan with a medium to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and season 1 side with salt and pepper. Place seasoned side of the meat down on the grill. Cook the steak undisturbed for 5 minutes. Then rotate the meat about 90 degrees (don¿t turn it over) on the grill to make clear cross marks and grill another 2 minutes. Season the other side of the steak with salt and pepper and flip. Continue to grill until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F for medium, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mash the blue cheese in a bowl with the mayonnaise or sour cream, lemon zest, and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Cut the rolls in half horizontally and brush the insides with olive oil. Grill until warm on each side, about 1 minute. Rub the toasted bread with the remaining clove of garlic.
  • Thinly slice the meat across the grain and assemble the sandwiches. Spread a few tablespoons of the blue cheese sauce on each sandwich, top with some of the steak, onions, roasted tomatoes and watercress. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Toss the tomatoes in a large bowl with the olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet cut side up and roast until soft and juicy, about 20 minutes. Serve.

GRILLED BONE-IN RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BLUE CHEESE



Grilled Bone-In Rib-Eye Steaks With Blue Cheese image

The usual formula for cooking an amazing slab of steak is as simple as they come: salt plus pepper plus a short stint over a hot fire. But there are times when you want an extra shot of flavor. Some good crumbled blue cheese sprinkled on the hot steak so it melts over the top does just that, especially when you spike it with hot sauce and butter. I like to use a combination of direct and indirect heat when grilling a bone-in piece of meat; it allows a crust to form but not burn while keeping the meat juicy inside. But you know your grill best, so let your instinct guide you as to where to move the steaks and when you think they are done. And if blue cheese isn't your thing, follow the grilling directions here but leave your meat bare except for the salt and pepper. If you start with good meat, you will never go wrong.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (1 1/2-inch-thick) bone-in rib-eye steaks, about 1 1/4 pounds each
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
Black pepper, as needed
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
2 ounces creamy blue cheese, such as Jasper Hill Bayley Hazen Blue
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons finely chopped chives
Hot sauce, as needed

Steps:

  • Season steaks with salt and pepper at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before you plan to cook them. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature.
  • Heat grill to high. If using a charcoal grill, mound coals to one side, allowing for an area of indirect heat. If using a gas grill, turn on only a few of the burners and leave the rest off for indirect heat.
  • Lightly oil steaks. Place on the hottest part of the grill. Cook, covered, until they develop a golden-brown crust, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move steaks to indirect heat and crumble cheese over the top; cover and continue cooking 2 to 5 minutes longer, depending on desired doneness. (Pull the meat at 125 degrees for rare.)
  • Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. While steaks rest, stir together butter, chives and hot sauce. Pour over steak before serving.

GRILLED PESTO MARINATED SKIRT STEAK WITH BLUE CHEESE FONDUE



Grilled Pesto Marinated Skirt Steak with Blue Cheese Fondue image

Cook's note: You can make this sauce a couple of hours in advance but reheat it very slowly to prevent separation. A number of cheeses can be substituted for the Cambozola; try Brie, Blue cheese or aged English Cheddar. Alternatively, use this sauce as a base for lasagna, tossed with pasta and steamed asparagus, or spooned over grilled steak for a stunning accent.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pound skirt steak, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices, room temperature
2 cups jarred pesto
Gray salt and freshly ground black pepper
Blue Cheese Fondue, recipe follows
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 pound Cambozola blue cheese, crumbled, or other blue cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak 15 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes. Heat the grill.
  • Thread the meat onto skewers, season with salt and pepper, and coat with the pesto. Grill to desired doneness. You can also cook the meat to medium rare then finish it off in the oven just before the party.
  • In a small pan over medium-low heat, cook the butter, thyme, and garlic until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to let the garlic brown. Add the cream, raise the heat to medium, and bring the cream to a simmer. Cook until the cream is reduced by 1/3. Lower the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the pepper and pour into a fondue pot set over low heat.

BLACKENED STEAK BITES WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE



Blackened Steak Bites with Blue Cheese Sauce image

This recipe is similar to an appetizer served at my favorite Italian restaurant. It is a nice change from the usual appetizers and always gets rave reviews! I have used tenderloin in the past, but have found that a good quality top sirloin works very well and is less expensive. Bernaise sauce is a good alternative if you don't like blue cheese.
