Grilled Flank Steak with Grapes and Blue Cheese

Ingredients

1 flank steak (2 pounds)
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches (8 cups) watercress, trimmed
½ cup crumbled Stilton (preferred, but another blue cheese can be substituted)
2 cups red grapes, halved

Directions

  1. Heat grill to high and oil grates.

  2. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper.

  3. In small blender or food processor, combine vinegar, shallot, mustard and olive oil to make dressing. Season with salt and pepper, and puree until smooth.

  4. Grill steak until it reaches 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 6–7 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.

  5. In large bowl, combine watercress, salt, pepper and enough dressing to coat. Thinly slice steak across the grain and transfer to platter. Top with watercress, Stilton/blue cheese and grapes, and serve with additional dressing.
