Recipe Monday - Gorgonzola Crusted New York Strip Steak

I wanted to try something a little different on our steak this time, and it came out really well!

Ingredients for Crumb Topping:

3 tablespoons butter, softened

2 ounces creamy gorgonzola cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

Freshly cracked black pepper

1/2 cup panko japanese style bread crumbs

Steaks:

2 NY strip steaks

2 tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt and black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary

Directions:

To prepare crumb topping, combine butter, garlic and bleu cheese in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave on high at 15 second intervals until cheese and butter are melted.  Season with fresh pepper.  Stir in bread crumbs and set aside.

Coat steaks lightly with oil and season both sides with salt,pepper and rosemary.  Grill or fry steaks for a minute or two on each side.  Transfer to a cookie sheet.  Spread crumb mixture on top.  Roast in preheated 450 degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes or more, using  a meat thermometer so that steaks are done to your liking.  Remove steak from pan, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 2 minutes before serving.
