Blue Cheese-Stuffed Steaks for Two Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

20 10 30

Ingredients

5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cups grape tomatoes
2 boneless beef top loin steaks (8 ounces each)
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large skillet, saute garlic in oil until tender. Cover and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes or until golden and softened. Add tomatoes; cook and stir until tomatoes just begin to burst. Remove from the skillet; set aside and keep warm.
Cut a pocket in the thickest part of each steak; fill with blue cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In the same skillet, cook steaks over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Serve with tomato mixture. Yield: 2 servings.

Editor's Note: Top loin steak may be labeled as strip steak, Kansas City steak, New York strip steak, ambassador steak or boneless club steak in your region.
