This grape and blue cheese flank steak is the perfect romantic meal, and it’s ready in JUST 30 minutes! Marinated flank steak cooked on the stovetop, topped with balsamic sautéed grapes and shallots, and sprinkled with blue cheese.
Art and I never go out for Valentine’s Day. I don’t like the crowds, the fixed menus, or the fact that it’s February and I’m forced to bundle up and wear snow boots to dinner.
Usually, Art and I switch off who cooks for Valentine’s Day and dine on fancy food in the comfort of our home.
In our pajamas.
Yeah, I hate wearing real clothes at home. I’m a PJ girl through and through.
Last year, I made Art pizza for Valentine’s Day, but this year, I wanted to spruce things up. I wanted to come up with a delicious dish to share on the blog that is delicious on Valentine’s Day and every day.
This grape and blue cheese flank steak is just that!
I love many things about this dish, but my favorite thing is that it’s ready in 30 minutes and made in the same pan! How freaking easy?!
Oh, and if you’re one of those “ugh, fruit with my meat?” kind of people, you must try this. I think it will change your mind after the first bite.
Who wouldn’t love sweet grapes over beefy flank steak sprinkled with blue cheese?
Sweet baby J, it’s fantastic!

Grape and Blue Cheese Flank Steak
Ingredients
- 1 (2 pound) flank steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups halved red seedless grapes
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl add flank steak, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt and black pepper. Mix it all together to help coat the steak.
- In a large skillet add 1 tablespoon olive oil and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add in the flank steak and cook 5-7 minutes per side. The meat will be resting after cooking so it will continue to cook off the heat.
- When the meat is browned on the outside and rare in the middle take it out of the pan, place on a platter and top with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet add the grapes and shallots and cook for about 10 minutes just until the grapes are warmed and softened.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for a few minutes longer just to help the balsamic combine with the grapes and shallots.
- Thinly slice the flank steak, top with the grape mixture and sprinkle with blue cheese.
