Best The Flatiron Grilled Cheese Recipes

GRILLED GORGONZOLA FLAT IRONS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine the cinnamon, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the flat iron steaks on all sides, and press into the meat; set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the red wine, and boil until the wine has nearly evaporated, about 5 minutes more. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
• Cook the flat iron steaks on the preheated grill for 4 minutes per side, then remove and place into the skillet. Top the steaks with the onion mixture, and sprinkle with Gorgonzola cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and the steaks have cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes for medium. Sprinkle with chopped basil to serve.

ON-THE-GRILL GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• For the sandwiches: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Assemble 4 sandwiches by spreading 2 tablespoons fig jam on 2 of the multigrain slices and 2 of the brioche slices, then adding 2 slices of cheese to each and another slice of the same bread. Spread the butter on both sides of the assembled sandwiches.
• Place the sandwiches carefully onto the grates of the grill and grill on each side until the bread has grill marks and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes per side.
• For the salad and dressing: Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, balsamic glaze, honey, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the mixed greens, tomatoes and basil to the same bowl and toss to coat.
• Serve each sandwich with a side of salad.

IRON CHEF GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle or a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread the fig jam on four slices of bread. Top with the almonds, followed by 2 slices of bacon per sandwich, and a slice of each of the cheeses. Spread the butter on the outsides of the sandwiches, then sprinkle with salt.
• Griddle the sandwiches on the first side, 5 minutes, then flip, cover with a heatproof metal bowl and cook until golden and the cheese is melted and warmed through, about 5 minutes more.

GRILLED FLAT IRON STEAK WITH BLUE CHEESE-CHIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, garlic, 1 tablespoon black pepper, rosemary, oregano, and kosher salt in a bowl along with the olive oil. Place the flat iron steak into a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade overtop. Squeeze the excess air from the bag and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Remove steak from the marinade, shake off excess, and discard the remaining marinade. Allow the steak to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes as the grill warms.
• Mash together the butter, blue cheese, chives, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper; set aside. Cook the steak on the preheated grill to desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Allow the 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.
