Denver Steak
Juicy grilled Denver steak topped with toasted pecans, blue cheese, BBQ sauce, and spring onions. A perfect balance of sweet and savory.
Ingredients
- 700 g Denver steak
- salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 150 g blue cheese such as Roquefort or Aura
- 5 tbsp BBQ sauce preferably smoky and sweet
- 4 tbsp toasted pecans
- 1 spring onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- Bring the meat to room temperature about 30 minutes before grilling. Pat it dry and rub it lightly with oil, salt, and pepper.
Grilling the steak:
- Heat the grill until very hot. Grill the steak for 6–7 minutes per side, until it has a nice sear and the internal temperature reaches about 54–56 °C (medium rare).
Let it rest:
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest under foil for 5–10 minutes. This keeps it juicy.
Slicing:
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain and place on a serving dish.
Finishing:
- Crumble the blue cheese on top, drizzle BBQ sauce to taste, and finish with toasted pecans and sliced spring onion.
Notes
- You can toast the pecans quickly in a dry pan—don’t leave them unattended, as they burn easily.
- You can also cook the steak in a cast-iron pan if a grill isn’t available.
- Serve with something like grilled corn salad or baked potatoes.
