Make This Steak Bites Appetizer

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. 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. 

I especially love appetizers 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 steak 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 base for all kinds of toppings! They are so much more than just a cracker.

You can top them with things like meat, cheeses, 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.

How to Make This Flank Steak Appetizer with Blue Cheese

Ingredients:

• 2 lb flank steak
• 2 tsp garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 1 red onion, sliced
• Fresh thyme
• 1 TBSP balsamic vinegar

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 steak for a bunch of appetizers. 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.
7. To assemble the steak bites, layer a piece of steak, some grilled onion and blue cheese crumbles on top of a TRISCUIT.
8. Drizzle with a little bit of balsamic vinegar.
9. 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 Flank Steak Appetizer. SO GOOD. The blue cheese and the grilled onions are a perfect match for the steak, 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.

1. Use garlic salt and pepper to season the flank steak.
2. Or use your favorite flank steak seasoning.
3. Grill flank steak to your desired doneness.
4. At the same time, grill your sliced red onions until they are charred and soft, about 10 minutes.
5. Let steak rest and when it is cool enough to handle, slice thinly, across the grain.
6. Chop grilled onions.

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.
