Blue Cheese-Crusted Sirloin Steaks Recipe

By ClaudiaJan

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 inch thick and 1-1/2 pounds)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 2 tablespoons soft bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Transfer to a small bowl.
Cut steak into four equal portions; season with salt and pepper.
In the same skillet, heat remaining butter over medium heat. Brown steaks, about 5 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, add blue cheese and bread crumbs to onion; mix well. Spread over steaks.
Broil steaks 4-6 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes or until steaks reach desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Yield: 4 servings.
