    GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH BUFFALO BLUE CHEESE BUTTER — Flank steak is marinated, then grilled to perfection and topped with an herbed Buffalo and blue cheese spread, for an easy but elegant beef dinner.


    Grilled Flank Steak with Buffalo Blue Cheese Butter

    One of my favorite cuts of meat to prepare on the grill is flank steak, and this version, smothered in a spicy Buffalo and blue cheese butter, is a new family favorite.

    I don’t often think of pairing Buffalo sauce with beef. It’s a flavor I most often associate with chicken. But the blue cheese (which has always been a great companion to beef) really bridges the gap and creates a unique and delicious combination of flavors.

    Of course, it helps that the Buffalo sauce and blue cheese are mixed up with a bunch of butter, which goes well on pretty much everything, if you ask me.

    And since I have a few huge Buffalo wing fans in my house, this flank steak was a huge hit around here.

    I highly recommend serving it with a side of grilled corn on the cob, which is also delicious smothered in the Buffalo and blue cheese butter.

    Grilled Flank Steak with Buffalo Blue Cheese Butter

    Normally, I’d cook a steak like this to medium or medium rare. But my youngest won’t touch it if there’s any red at all, so I sacrifice to feed the family.

    But normally, you’ll want to leave some pink in the middle for optimal flavor and tenderness.

    The key with a tougher cut of meat, like flank steak, is to marinate it for a good, long time. So try and marinade overnight, or at least 8 hours, if at all possible.

    And make sure you let your meat rest for at least five minutes before you slice it, to seal in all the juices. Sliced thinly, this fairly inexpensive cut of meat really does take on the look and feel of a gourmet meal.

    If you’re looking for a unique and flavorful new grill recipe to try this summer, look no further than this Buffalo-style grilled flank steak!

    I hope you love it as much as we did!

    Tips for Grilling Beef

    Season: A few hours before grilling, lightly sprinkle both sides of the meat with salt, then put it on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. The salt helps the cells retain water, which equals juicy meat.

    Before grilling, pat the meat dry with paper towels then generously salt it again.

    Temperature: First, let your beef come to room temperature before grilling. Remove it from the refrigerator about an hour before cooking. Use a thermometer to check if your meat is done.

    A temperature of 145ยฐF is medium rare, 160ยฐF is medium and 170ยฐF is well done. 

    Let it rest: Be sure to let your meat rest for at least 10 minutes after it’s finished cooking to seal in the juices. Ideally, you’ll want to cut into the meat when the internal temperature has cooled to about 125ยฐF.
