Pinch of salt

Cook the steak on the preheated grill to desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Allow the steak to rest in a warm place for 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
  • While steak is grilling place grape clusters on hot grill; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until the grapes begin to char and soften, turning occasionally.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Flat iron steak is a lean and flavorful cut that is perfect for grilling. Look for a steak that is about 1 inch thick and has good marbling.
  • Tenderize the steak: To make the steak more tender, you can use a meat mallet or a fork to tenderize it. This will help to break down the muscle fibers and make the steak more tender.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to add flavor and moisture to the steak. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, or a more complex marinade made with herbs, spices, and wine.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flat iron steak is best cooked over high heat. This will help to sear the steak and create a nice crust. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese flat iron steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make a perfect blue cheese flat iron steak that your family and friends will love.
