Instructions

  1. Combine the garlic powder, brown sugar, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; rub over steak. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  2. Grease grill grate. Heat grill to medium-high.
  3. Grill steak, covered, over medium-high heat for 2-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer inserted into meat reads 145°F. Transfer steak to a cutting board; tent with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice steak against the grain. Keep warm.

Flatbreads:

  1. Reduce grill heat to medium.
  2. Drizzle the mushrooms, cherries and onions with olive oil in a large bowl; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mushroom mixture to a lightly greased grill grid. Grill mixture, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or crisp-tender, turning once.
  3. Divide dough in half. Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. Transfer dough to grill grate with a lightly floured, rimless baking sheet or pizza peel. Grill dough, covered, over medium heat for 1-3 minutes or until bottoms are browned and crisp. Flip dough; cook for 1 minute longer. (Do not fully brown.) Transfer crusts to lightly floured baking sheets, partially cooked side down.
  5. Top the browned-crisp side of crusts with the fontina, mushroom mixture and steak. Grill flatbreads, covered, for 4-5 minutes longer or until crusts are browned and crisp. Transfer flatbreads to cutting boards. Sprinkle with blue cheese. Cool for 2 minutes.
  6. Top flatbreads with microgreens. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Cut into pieces. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tip

To peel cipollini onions, boil them in water for 3 minutes and then plunge them into ice water. Pat dry and peel onions. Thawed frozen pearl onions could also be used in a pinch.
