Flank Steak with Mushrooms and a Gorgonzola Basil Dressing
Author Notes: I obsess over Heston Blumenthal's Steak with Blue Cheese Infused Butter and Mushroom Ketchup which he serves with a simple tomato and iceberg lettuce salad. Someday when I have two days, a blow torch and the best two bone prime rib in the world I WILL make it...until then I'll make this. - inpatskitchen
Serves 4
For the dressing
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola
- 20 fresh basil leaves, torn
- 2 teaspoons wasabi powder mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 1 clove garlic
- Place all ingredients in a mini processor or blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate.
Steak and sides
- 1 two pound flank steak, scored on both sides
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 pound sliced button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups baby romaine lettuce leaves
- 3 medium tomatoes sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola
- Salt and pepper
- extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- Marinate the scored flank steak in the Worcestershire, four minced garlic cloves and 1/4 cup olive oil for 3 to 4 hours.
- In the meantime, saute the sliced mushrooms in the 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil until they brown up nicely. Set aside.
- After marinating, grill the steaks on a super hot grill or grill pan for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until medium rare. Let rest about 10 minutes before slicing against the grain and on the diagonal as thinly as possible.
- Arrange the steak mushrooms, lettuce,tomato and dressing on a platter. Sprinkle the gorgonzola over the tomatoes and lettuce, drizzle with a little olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
- Now everyone help yourself and enjoy!
