Herb-Garlic Crusted Flank Steak with Pan-Roasted Grapes

Ingredients

• 2 tsp. fresh thyme
• 2 tsp. fresh rosemary
• 1 large garlic clove
• 1½ tsp. Kosher salt
• ¾ tsp. Freshly ground pepper
• 1 flank steak
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 c. assorted whole grapes
• 2 shallots
• 1 to 2 tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
• ½ c. freshly crumbled blue cheese

Directions

1. Combine first 5 ingredients. Rub steak with herb mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove and cover loosely with foil.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to pan, and sauté grapes and shallots 5 to 6 minutes or until grapes just begin to soften.
3. Remove from heat, and let stand 1 minute. Stir in vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Slice steak against the grain into thin slices. Arrange on a serving platter, spooning grapes and cheese over meat. Sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes.
