I love the combination of the sweet citrus marinade and the strong tang of the blue cheese butter. And my kids just love flank steak. —Gwen Wedel, Augusta, Michigan *Test Kitchen Approved

Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

• 1 beef flank steak (2 pounds)
•
• BLUE CHEESE BUTTER:
• 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 3 tablespoons stick margarine, softened (Imperial)
• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first five ingredients. Add steak; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 2-4 hours.

2. Drain beef, discarding marinade. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let steak stand 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain.

3. In a small bowl, beat blue cheese butter ingredients until blended. Serve steak with butter.
