How to Cook Flank Steak With Bleu Cheese in 15 Minutes

[zabalajulian]

DID SOMEONE SAY OVERCOOKED?

[yowzephyr]

I wish the blue cheese melted completely smooth on top of the steak instead of retaining its crumbly character. I remember Applebee's had a blue cheese on steak dish that I loved, the blue cheese melted so smoothly. I don't know how they get the blue cheese to melt so completely like that. Perhaps it's not pure blue cheese but rather some sort of blue cheese sauce? But I took it to be pure blue cheese. Please tell me how to get blue cheese *completely* melted and flat on top of steak .

@yowzephyr Applebees would definitely be using a blue cheese sauce, as opposed to real blue cheese. What I have noticed, however, is blue cheese, or in this case gorgonzola, cut into slices from a bigger piece melts much better than the crumbled stuff. Give it a try and tell me what you think. -Kirk

[yowzephyr]

@Egcuisine I will. Thanks.

[Egcuisine]

@yowzephyr Let me know how that works.

[yowzephyr]

@Egcuisine If that was blue cheese sauce that Applebee's had on that steak, I want to know the recipe for that sauce! Because it was great!

I went there again and it was no longer on Appebee's menu. But the waiter said he could ask for it to be served to me nevertheless. So I ordered it again. But it wasn't the same. Not as good.

That one magical blue cheese melt on the steak I experienced at Applebee's. Alas, I think I will never be repeated for me again.

@yowzephyr Unfortunately I never tried that sauce, so I can't really help you recreate it. See if you can find it online. It's amazing what a Google search will turn up. It's probably a fairly easy sauce to make.

[yowzephyr]

@Egcuisine Wow. You're right on. I googled it and got the recipe. And yes, it's a very easy sauce to make. You just blend together 2 tablespoons of butter with 6 ounces of blue cheese until creamy.

So now I know! Thank you.

[Egcuisine]

@yowzephyr I haven't checked out the recipe that you're referencing, but one thing's for sure. When you heat up this sauce be sure to do so over a low flame. When butter and cheese get too hot they like to separate.

[yowzephyr]

@Egcuisine Thank you. I'll definitely keep that in mind! I appreciate your warning.

[yowzephyr]

Why canola oil? Isn't olive oil better?

[Egcuisine]

@yowzephyr Canola has a higher smoke point, but olive oil will work just fine. Feel free to use it if you prefer.

-Kirk

[yowzephyr]

@Egcuisine Soon after I posted my question I remembered the smoke point factor. I then figured that was why canola oil was recommended. You have confirmed that for me. Thank you. I guess I'll go with the smoke.

Hi. I enjoyed the video. I like the bleu cheese twist.

[Egcuisine]

@ChaChaDave Thanks so much, Dave. I appreciate the feedback. -Kirk

[mecos9]

I just made this and it was soooooo damn good! Thanks buddy! This one is definitely going in my recipe arsenal.

P.S.

I made this with sauteed potatoes and asparagus - best meal I've had in weeks.

[Egcuisine]

@mecos9 Nice! So glad you liked it. Potatoes and asparagus would be awesome alongside. Thanks for the feedback. -Kirk

I hope he cleaned the cutting board before putting the cooked steak on it to rest.

[Egcuisine]

@MookieSynkk Rest assured it got cleaned. Thanks for watching. -Kirk

i enjoyed this vid.. i often buy chuck steak .. i know you are probably like yuck .. but i like steak and that steak is good for my price range can you make a vid on how to properly cook chuck steak thanks.

[NoTimeToCookDinner]

@MUSTSEEVID Chuck steak is great, especially if you're making chicken fried steak. I can do a vid somewhere down the road. For now, just know that you have to pound it really good in order to tenderize it. Dip it in a little seasoned flour, then in a little buttermilk mixed with egg, then back in the flour. Shallow fry in oil till it's golden brown and you're good to go. Gotta make a little gravy with it as well.

[MonsoonSurfer]

Perfectly cut....? :-)

[NoTimeToCookDinner]

@MonsoonSurfer Meant to say perfectly cooked, but oh well. At least it WAS perfectly cut :)

[killweir]

That's a great looking steak, and I bet it tasted lovely but under 15 minutes - I think not. Closer to 20 - 25 minutes realistically if you factor in the seasoning, aplication of blue cheese, cutting, garnishing and longer cooking times quoted. Very nice though so thanks.

[castrofocobiana]

beautiful thanks

[NoTimeToCookDinner]

Haha. Glad I could oblige.

[kekler101]

Sweet jesus...that looks awesome...this and the fried chicken, my two favorites.
