This Grilled Steak and Blue Cheese Salsa recipe is my absolute favorite dinner to kick off grilling season! The steak marinade is full of so much flavor, only made more perfect by the addition of the blue cheese salsa. AND, it can all be prepped ahead of time, so it’s really great for company or busy weeknights! Total win!

To make this grilled steak and blue cheese salsa, simply…

First, prepare your steak by patting dry. Then rub the seasoning on both sides of the steak. Place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least one hour or up to eight.

Next, prepare the salsa. In a medium bowl combine the chopped Roma tomatoes, corn, green onion, olive oil, hot sauce and salt & pepper. If you’re making this ahead of time, wait to add the blue cheese.

When you’re ready to cook, turn the grill on to medium high heat. Leave the steak out for 30 minutes to come to room temperature before grilling.

Grill the steak until desired doneness. For me, I like medium well, so I cook about 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 3 minutes until just a bit pink the middle,

Remove steak, allow to rest for about 10 minutes. Cut steak against the grain into one inch thick slices.

Serve with the salsa spooned over the top. Summer steak perfection!

Fool-proof steak

Steak is not what I typically reach for at the grocery store, mostly because I’m intimidated by all the different cuts and usually the prices too. However, this steak recipe is fool-proof. Pick up any cut of steak that you fancy, and it will be delicious every time, guaranteed! I used a large rib-eye I found on sale and used it for date night for me and the hubs. Let’s not waste the expensive meat on the kids, right? They don’t appreciate it like we do.

How to have steak success every time

Marinate, marinate, marinate – This step is particularly important if you’re using a less-expensive cut that doesn’t already have a lot of flavor. That’s what makes this recipe awesome. No need to spend big bucks on fancy cuts, I usually grab whatever is on sale and just marinate it!

Add Fresh Flavor – The best way to complement a steak’s heavy flavor is with a fresh and juicy salsa! Ripe tomatoes, crisp corn and tangy blue cheese make this salsa really special.

Don’t Overcook – Seems obvious, but cooking a thinner steak for a few minutes on both sides is usually enough. I use a thermometer like this to get it to a perfect medium-well (my husband’s preference).

Let it Rest – Allowing your steak to rest before slicing helps the juices remain inside the steak instead of pouring out and losing all your moisture and ending up with a dry steak.
