Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and getting your grill ready to medium-high heat. Give the grill grate a quick brush with oil so the steaks don’t stick. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne, and brown sugar. Rub this spice blend all over the flat iron steaks, pressing it in so it sticks well, then set them aside for a moment.

Step 2
Next, warm up some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, cooking and stirring until the onions become soft and clear, which should take about 5 minutes. Pour in the red wine and let it bubble away until most of the liquid is gone, roughly another 5 minutes. Take the onion mixture out of the pan and keep it nearby.

Step 3
Place your seasoned steaks on the hot grill and cook them for about 4 minutes on each side. When they’re done, transfer the steaks back to the skillet. Spoon the onion mixture over the top and sprinkle on some crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.

Step 4
Pop the skillet into the oven and bake just until the cheese melts and the steaks reach your preferred doneness—about 5 minutes if you like them medium. Finish things off by sprinkling some chopped fresh basil over everything before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the rich, juicy flavor of perfectly grilled flat iron steaks with the creamy, tangy bite of Gorgonzola cheese. It’s a great balance of savory and sharp, making each bite exciting. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and feels special enough for a weekend dinner or a casual gathering.
How to serve
Serve with a simple side salad of mixed greens dressed lightly with balsamic vinaigrette. Roasted vegetables or grilled asparagus also complement the dish well, adding color and freshness. A crusty bread on the side can help soak up any juices and cheese.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the cheese separate if possible to maintain its texture. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid drying out the meat.
