Grilled Steak Appetizers With Stilton Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Thirty minutes before grilling the steaks, remove them from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. Heat a grill with coals.
• When the coals are hot, spread them out in the grill in one solid layer. Pat the steaks dry on both sides with paper towels and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear them on each side for 2 minutes, until browned. Brush each side lightly with olive oil. Place the lid on the grill and allow the steaks to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until they are cooked rare, or 120 degrees F on a meat thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.) Remove the steaks from the grill, place them in one layer on a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• For the stilton sauce, place the stilton cheese in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend until finely minced. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until smooth.
• Slice the steak and serve with the stilton sauce.

Steps:

• Cut steak into 4 pieces; sprinkle with steak seasoning. Grill steaks, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°)., Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by about half. Serve with steaks.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Add shallots and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add broth and wine and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until sauce has reduced to 1/2 cup (about 20 minutes).
• Meanwhile season steaks with salt, chipotle powder and pepper.
• Grill or broil until cooked to desired doneness.
• Remove sauce from heat and stir in olives, cheese and thyme.
• Arrange steaks on warm plates and top with sauce.
