Instructions
-
Prepare the Steaks: Begin by trimming the steaks of any excess fat, ensuring that they are well-prepped for cooking. After trimming, gently flatten the steaks slightly to encourage even cooking. This technique will enhance the tenderness and overall texture of your steaks.
-
-
Mix the Topping: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese and cream cheese. Use a fork to blend these ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Next, add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chopped parsley, and minced garlic to the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly, creating a flavorful topping that will elevate the steaks.
-
Coat the Steaks: Generously spread the cheese mixture over both sides of each steak, ensuring that they are evenly coated for maximum flavor. The creamy topping will melt beautifully during cooking, adding a rich, savory layer to the dish.
-
Prepare for Cooking: Place the coated steaks on a shallow oven tray, ensuring they are spread out for even cooking. Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat, preparing for a quick cook that will enhance the flavors and retain the juiciness of the meat.
-
Grill the Steaks: Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on it. Grill them, turning occasionally, until they reach your desired level of doneness—typically around 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steaks. Keep a close eye on the steaks, as the blue cheese topping may char slightly, adding to the flavor profile.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Meanwhile, combine the pan juices that have collected in the tray and pour them over the steaks for an extra layer of richness. Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired, and savor this gourmet steak experience.
