A quick dip in a simple marinade spiked with garlic and cayenne makes for grilled skirt steak that's tender and flavorful. While the steak rests, grill cherry tomatoes and toss with blue cheese for a warm side salad.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl whisk the olive oil, garlic, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Add the steak and toss it a few times to make sure it is coated in the marinade. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it marinate for about 20 minutes while you light the grill.
Step 2
Bring a grill to medium flame and lightly oil the grate. Grill the steak for about 4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to rest.
Place the tomatoes directly on the grill grate and use tongs to gently roll them back and forth for about 1 minute, or until the skins blacken and blister.
Step 3
Carefully remove them to a bowl and sprinkle in the blue cheese. The cheese will start to melt a little and make a chunky sauce.
Step 4
Divide the steak amongst four plates and serve each piece with a scoop of tomatoes and blue cheese on top.
