Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 2 servings.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese; 1/4 cup butter, softened; 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted; 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley; 1-3/4 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary, divided; 6 large garlic cloves, peeled; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 2 beef top sirloin steaks (6 ounces each)

Few meats are as mouthwatering as a juicy, grilled steak. And when you top a tender sirloin with a savory blue cheese and walnut butter, it's mouthwatering and memorable.—Sharon Johnson, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Ingredients

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1-3/4 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary, divided
6 large garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 beef top sirloin steaks (6 ounces each)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the blue cheese, butter, walnuts, parsley and 3/4 teaspoon rosemary. Shape into a 5-in. log; wrap and refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes.
In a small food processor, combine the garlic cloves, salt, pepper and remaining rosemary. Cover and process until blended. Rub over both sides of steaks.
Grill steaks, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).
Unwrap blue cheese butter; cut two 1/2-in.-slices from log. Place one slice on each steak. Rewrap remaining butter; refrigerate for 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

My husband loves blue cheese. this was a perfect and easy recipe for a weeknight. It would also be perfect for a special meal with friends & family.

Me and almost all my guests found the blue cheese way too over powering. It was good but in very very small quantities. I think using a different cheese would have been better. I did not use near as much rosemary. I felt the recipe was too time consuming and expensive with all the ingredients. I have used store bought (dry rub) marinates that were much better. It wasn't bad by an means but I would probably never make it again unless I tried to alter the recipe.

I would use less rosemary. Had a very over powering taste.
