Flank Steak, Roquefort Cheese Butter [barbecue]
Comments: The strong taste of chives and Roquefort cheese melts into these marinated steaks to mix into meat juices.
If desired, use any other Blue cheese instead of Roquefort cheese.
Roquefort cheese butter can be prepared ahead of time if kept refrigerated but it should never be kept at room temperature.
