Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak with Blue Cheese Crust is a bold and savory dish that features tender marinated steak topped with a rich, broiled blue cheese crust. It’s an easy yet impressive meal ideal for entertaining or an elevated weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  1. 1.5–2 lbs flank steak
  2. 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  3. 2 tbsp olive oil
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  6. 1 tbsp soy sauce
  7. 1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
  8. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  9. 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  10. 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs (optional)

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and herbs if using.

  1. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat grill or broiler to high heat. Remove steak from marinade and pat dry.
  3. Grill or broil steak for 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  4. Remove steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Mix blue cheese with optional panko breadcrumbs in a small bowl.
  6. Spread the cheese mixture over the top of the steak.
  7. Place under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  8. Slice steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate the steak overnight for the most flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking—130°F for medium-rare.
  • Skip the breadcrumbs for a low-carb or gluten-free version.
  • Substitute blue cheese with feta, goat cheese, or gorgonzola if preferred.
  • Resting the steak before slicing helps retain its juices.
