Steak With Blistered Tomatoes And Blue Cheese Food

BLUE CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH WITH THE WORKS

Steps:

• Mix the Worcestershire, olive oil, hot sauce, and 5 cloves of chopped garlic in a large glass baking dish. Add the steak and swish around, turning until evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours, flipping the steak once or twice.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and when shimmering add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally; until the onions are brown, about 8 minutes, then stir in the garlic, salt, thyme, and hot sauce, cook until onions are tender, about 4 minutes more. Add the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until all the chicken broth is gone, and then season with pepper. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan with a medium to medium-high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and season 1 side with salt and pepper. Place seasoned side of the meat down on the grill. Cook the steak undisturbed for 5 minutes. Then rotate the meat about 90 degrees (don¿t turn it over) on the grill to make clear cross marks and grill another 2 minutes. Season the other side of the steak with salt and pepper and flip. Continue to grill until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F for medium, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mash the blue cheese in a bowl with the mayonnaise or sour cream, lemon zest, and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Cut the rolls in half horizontally and brush the insides with olive oil. Grill until warm on each side, about 1 minute. Rub the toasted bread with the remaining clove of garlic.
• Thinly slice the meat across the grain and assemble the sandwiches. Spread a few tablespoons of the blue cheese sauce on each sandwich, top with some of the steak, onions, roasted tomatoes and watercress. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the tomatoes in a large bowl with the olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet cut side up and roast until soft and juicy, about 20 minutes. Serve.

STEAK WITH BLISTERED TOMATOES AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Divide the steak amongst four plates and serve each piece with a scoop of tomatoes and blue cheese on top.

BLUE CHEESE STEAK

Steps:

• Fire up your frying pan to high heat, or get the grill ready.
• Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
• Toss a dab of butter in the pan (or a spritz of oil).
• Place steaks on the hot pan; grill 3 minutes; turn.
• Scatter bleu cheese crumbles over steak while grilling for another 3 minutes.
• Remove meat from heat, let stand a few minutes.
• Serve with oven-roasted potato wedges or whole baked potatoes.
• OPTIONAL: Serve with MORE bleu cheese or bleu cheese salad dressing.

GRILLED BONE-IN RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Season steaks with salt and pepper at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before you plan to cook them. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature.
• Heat grill to high. If using a charcoal grill, mound coals to one side, allowing for an area of indirect heat. If using a gas grill, turn on only a few of the burners and leave the rest off for indirect heat.
• Lightly oil steaks. Place on the hottest part of the grill. Cook, covered, until they develop a golden-brown crust, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move steaks to indirect heat and crumble cheese over the top; cover and continue cooking 2 to 5 minutes longer, depending on desired doneness. (Pull the meat at 125 degrees for rare.)
• Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. While steaks rest, stir together butter, chives and hot sauce. Pour over steak before serving.

STRIP STEAKS WITH TOMATO AND BLUE CHEESE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F).
• Lightly brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season evenly with salt and pepper. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
• In a medium bowl whisk the shallot, vinegar, mustard, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of oil, forming a smooth vinaigrette. Add the tomatoes and basil. Mix well.
• Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the steaks over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to your desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, turning once or twice (if flare-ups occur, move the steaks temporarily over indirect heat). Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cheese to the vinaigrette. Mix gently. Serve the steaks warm with the vinaigrette spooned over the top.
