Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Simultaneously, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, meticulously combine the cinnamon, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar. Generously sprinkle this aromatic blend over all sides of the flat iron steaks, ensuring it adheres well by gently pressing it into the meat. Set the seasoned steaks aside. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Introduce the minced garlic and onion, sautéing until the onion softens and becomes beautifully translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Then, pour in the Cabernet Sauvignon (or your chosen dry red wine) and allow it to boil until it has nearly evaporated, about 5 minutes more. Remove the fragrant onion mixture from the skillet and reserve. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Grill the flat iron steaks on the preheated grill for 4 minutes per side, achieving those coveted grill marks. Remove from the grill and transfer the steaks to the skillet. Crown each steak with the reserved onion mixture, followed by a generous sprinkling of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. (Cook time: 8 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the Gorgonzola cheese has melted into a luscious blanket and the steaks have reached your desired degree of doneness, typically around 5 minutes for medium. (Bake time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving. Serve immediately and savor the symphony of flavors. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the steaks in the red wine for at least 30 minutes before applying the rub.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper according to your spice preference. A pinch more can add a delightful kick.
If you don't have a grill, you can sear the steaks in a hot skillet on the stovetop before transferring them to the oven.
A balsamic glaze drizzle after baking can elevate the dish.

    My family raved about this recipe. It's a bit decadent but perfect for a special occasion.

  • Einar Runolfsdottir

    I tried this recipe last night, and it was a hit! The only change I made was using a Merlot instead of Cabernet, and it still turned out amazing.

  • Melody Mertz

    Absolutely divine! The rub is what makes this steak a winner. I was skeptical about the cinnamon, but it works so well with the Gorgonzola!

  • Felicity Wisozk

    Easy to follow and the results are restaurant-quality. Will definitely be making this again!
