BEEF STEAK AL FORNO

Total preparation and cooking time:  25 minutes

4 beef shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks, (about 7 ounces each)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  Salt
Instructions
  1. Combine thyme, garlic and pepper; press evenly onto beef steaks.
  2. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.  Grill, covered, 10 to 14 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once.  During last 2 minutes of grilling, sprinkle with cheese.  Season with salt, as desired.

Makes 4 servings.


Note:  Beef Shoulder Top Blade (Flat Iron) Steaks come from the second most tender beef muscle.  They are cut from the Top Blade Roast (IMPS/NAMP 114D), which is separated into two pieces by cutting horizontally through the middle to remove the thick connective tissue.  Each half resembles a small flank steak.  These pieces are then cut crosswise into 2 to 3 individual steaks.  They average 7 ounces.
