My hubby LOVES bleu cheese, so as soon as I saw this in a little booklet about the Midwest, I knew he'd enjoy steak prepared like this! The original recipe called for 1/2 C. A1 Steak sauce for marinating, but since I didn't have any, I made up my own marinade. I offer here the excellent results. Ingredients:
4 sirloin steaks |
worcestershire sauce |
soy sauce |
cooking sherry |
red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled |
2 -3 green onions, finely chopped (tops included) |
Directions:
1. Lay steak portions in a marinating container or a zippered plastic bag.
2. Splash several dashes of the marinade into the bag; zip the bag shut and smoush the bag to spread the marinade around.
3. Allow steaks to marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is even better).
4. At the end of the marinating time: either grill the meat or brown in a large HOT frying pan with 2 T. butter or oil.
5. Cook uncovered for four to five minutes; drizzle marinade over meat, flip meat over; continue cooking for another three to four minutes.
6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the butter, cheese and onion; set aside.
7. When meat has attained perfection, swirl the pan juices around, remove the meat to a serving platter; drizzle pan juices over the meat.
8. Spoon one-fourth of the bleu-butter over each portion; serve immediately.
9. SERVE WITH: spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, buttered green beans, and sweet potato slices baked with honey and olive oil!
