Grilled Flank Steak with Gargonzole Cream Sauce

This quick and easy Grilled Flank Steak with Gargonzole Cream Sauce recipe from the Food Network's Down Home with the Neely's was the star of our dinner last night. Even meat-challenged ds ate so much that we had to slice more meat before we finished passing the rest of the food! The steak is simply seasoned with salt and pepper and then grilled. According to ds it is delicious on it's own. The addition of a sauce can make it a little more special. Since we're not big on the Gargonzole around here, I made a quick horseradish sauce instead. We love this sauce and use it often with both chicken and beef.

3/4 teaspoon salt
