    Appetizers are always a good idea because they keep your guests happy. I love to have something ready for my friends to snack on when they arrive. Whether it’s a Chex Mix or Beer Cheese Dip, it’s nice to have something ready to go.

    Not only does it help to alleviate my stress for getting the rest of the party spread out, but it also ensures they feel taken care of.

    Why This Recipe Works

    I especially love Triscuit recipes, like these Blue Cheese Steak Bites, that can be made ahead of time. I try to do as much as I can before my friends get here so I can finish up anything else I need to serve (a full meal or a grazing table) and then focus on enjoying their company.

    These flank steak appetizer bites come together pretty quickly and are great for serving at room temperature. 

    We usually have TRISCUIT Original Crackers around the house to snack on. And, of course, you can always serve them plain on a food table.

    But they are such a great salty cracker base for all kinds of toppings! They are so much more than just a cracker. A Triscuit appetizer is quick and easy and you can top them with all kinds of things.

    From meat and cheeses to jams, etc. they are hearty and don’t get soggy or break down quickly, which is key when you are topping it with your favorite things.

    The combination of blue cheese and flank steak is a dream. They’re creamy, salty and a great recipe to serve at a party.

    Ingredients

    What you need to make Blue Cheese Bites.

    Scroll down to the printable recipe card for all the measurements.

    • flank steak
    • garlic salt
    • black pepper
    • blue cheese crumbles
    • red onion
    • fresh thyme
    • balsamic vinegar
    • Triscuits! I prefer original flavor for this appetizer.

    To ensure that you have the right amount of ingredients you first need to have an idea of how many finished blue cheese steak bites you want to make overall.

    The 2-pound flank steak will give you way more than enough meat for a bunch of steak appetizers. I had a lot left over. With one red onion, I could make about 24 appetizers. 

    Instructions

    1. Use garlic salt and pepper to season the flank steak.
    2. Grill or cook the steak to your desired doneness.
    3. While the meat is cooking, grill or saute onions until they are soft (about 10 minutes).
    4. Let the steak rest until it is cool enough to handle.
    5. Thinly slice it across the grain.
    6. Chop the grilled onion.

    To Assemble

    To assemble the appetizers with steak, layer a piece of steak, some grilled onion and blue cheese crumbles on top of a TRISCUIT.

    Drizzle with a little bit of balsamic vinegar.

    Add a few leaves of fresh thyme. 

    If you don’t want to make them ahead, you can set out the ingredients for the steak bites and have your friends build their own.

    All it takes is a little layering, and you’ve got a super simple, totally delicious Triscuit Appetizer idea.

    SO GOOD. The blue cheese and the grilled onions are a perfect match for the steak and one of my favorite Triscuit topping ideas.

    But if your friends or family balk at blue cheese, you can try gorgonzola (which can sometimes be a little milder) or goat cheese.

    The balsamic drizzle and fresh thyme add tons of flavor. 

    Serve this Triscuit Steak Bites appetizer next time you have a party. Your guests will love them and you’ll love that you can have them ready before anyone even arrives. 

    Tips

    • Since you can tailor each Triscuit appetizer to your liking, you can leave off any ingredient that you friends and family may not like.
    • You can make this vegetarian by leaving off the meat and adding a drizzle of honey and some toasted pistachios.
    • Since you will have a whole box of crackers and cook a few pounds of meat, you can make a lot of these. If serving at a party, I would make up to 24, then store the ingredients so you can make more as needed.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What’s good to put on a Triscuit?

    You can put just about anything on a Triscuit. Just look to your favorite appetizer recipes and use the same flavor combinations. You can top these salty crackers with the flavors of a caprese, or do something more fall forward with cranberries and goat cheese. The possibilities are endless!

    What are the Triscuit Flavors?

    The Triscuit brand has a variety of flavors, like Cracked Pepper, Classic, Parmesan Garlic, Sweet Potato and Sea Salt and pepper, Sour Cream and Chive, Rosemary, Roasted Garlic and I’m sure there are some I’ve missed!

    How do you store leftovers?

    I wouldn’t save any Triscuit appetizer leftovers that have already been made. But you can store all the ingredients, separately and build more as needed.

    Ingredients

    • 2 pound flank steak
    • 2 teaspoon garlic salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 24 TRISCUIT Crackers
    • 1 ci[ Blue Cheese Crumbles
    • 1-2 Red Onion sliced
    • 4 sprigs Fresh Thyme
    • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar

    Instructions

    • Use garlic salt and pepper to season the flank steak.
    • Or use your favorite flank steak seasoning.
    • Grill flank steak to your desired doneness.
    • At the same time, grill your sliced red onions until they are charred and soft, about 10 minutes.
    • Let steak rest and when it is cool enough to handle, slice thinly, across the grain.
    • Chop grilled onions.
    • For each steak bite, layer a piece of steak, grilled onion, and blue cheese on top of a TRISCUIT.
    • Drizzle with a little bit of balsamic vinegar.
    • Top with fresh thyme.

    Notes

    *The amount this makes depends on how many you want to make. With a 2 pound flank steak, you could probably use the whole box of TRISCUIT crackers and still have meat leftover (which is never a bad thing!) This is why I put 1-2 red onions. I used 1 red onion and had enough to make probably 24 steak bites.
    • Since you can tailor each Triscuit appetizer to your liking, you can leave off any ingredient that you friends and family may not like.
    • You can make this vegetarian by leaving off the meat and adding a drizzle of honey and some toasted pistachios.
    • Since you will have a whole box of crackers and cook a few pounds of meat, you can make a lot of these. If serving at a party, I would make up to 24, then store the ingredients so you can make more as needed.
