Father's Day Grillin' Recipes

Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Blue Cheese-Chive Butter
Serves 6

Ingredients
• 2-2 1/2 pounds flat iron steak (or any steak of your preference)
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 ½ teaspoons crumbled dried rosemary leaves
• 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 tablespoon cracked black pepper
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
• 1 ½ ounce crumbled blue cheese
• 1 ½ tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
•
Directions

1. Whisk together vinegar, garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt and 1 1/4 tablespoon black pepper in a bowl along with the olive oil. Place the flat iron steak into a zip lock bag, and pour the marinade on top. Squeeze the excess air from the bag and seal. Marinate 60 minutes in the refrigerator turning over after 30 minutes.
2. Lightly oil grate then preheat outdoor grill on medium-high heat. Remove steak from the marinade, shake off excess, and discard the remaining marinade. Allow the steak to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes as the grill warms.
3. Cream together butter, blue cheese, chives, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper; set aside. Cook the steak on the preheated grill to desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Allow the steak to rest in a warm place for 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain. Serve with a dollop of blue cheese-chive butter.
