Description

Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
•
1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
•
1 teaspoon dried oregano
•
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
•
1/4 cup olive oil
•
1 1/2 pounds flat iron steak
•
3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
•
1 ounce crumbled blue cheese
•
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
•
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Directions
1
Whisk olive oil, vinegar, garlic, 1 tablespoon black pepper, rosemary, oregano, and kosher salt together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Remove steak from the marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade. Allow steak to stand at room temperature as the grill warms.
3
Meanwhile, mash butter, blue cheese, chives, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper together until combined; set aside.
4
Cook steaks on the preheated grill until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Allow 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.
