Grilled Flank Steak with Blue Cheese and Pepper Relish

When I’m paying the invoices at our music store, I always like to have some kind of noise going on. Whether it’s the radio, or the little TV that sits upon my desk, I’m listening to something. I prefer to go in on weekdays so I can watch The Doctors, or Martha, or something similar. But, I’m usually there on a Saturday morning. There is not a lot on, that I like to watch, during the weekends. But on our local public channels, there are a few cooking shows. One is called Caprial and John In The Kitchen.

That is were I found this delicious recipe!

What I really enjoyed about this recipe?

The relish!

This stuff was not only delicious, but so versatile. While it was terrific with the steak, this was great on my hamburger and in an omelet. Oh how I wish I had more right now, I would make a Blue Cheese and Pepper Bruschetta for dinner tonight!

I bet it would make a great panini too!

If your a steak and blue cheese lover like I am, you’ll relish (hehe) in this recipe!
