Grilled Steak Appetizers With Stilton Sauce Recipes

STEAKS AND STILTON SAUCE

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 brush each side lightly with olive oil. 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. 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 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. Slice and serve warm with the Stilton Sauce.
• Place the Stilton 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, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until smooth. Serve at room temperature.

GRILLED STEAKS WITH MUSHROOM 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.

STILTON (BLUE CHEESE) STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Shave or crumble about 1- 1 1/2 CUPS of the Blue cheese into a small heavy sauce pan.
• Add about 1/4 cup Hellman's full fat mayonnaise. (This is the emumiant that keeps everything together).
• I add a LOT (a full teaspoon) of pepper, I grind it right into the pan. Fresh really makes a difference.
• Add salt to taste (I don't use any if I use the rind of the cheese as it is often hardened with salt).
• Warm the pan slowly while constantly stirring. It will melt, don't give up.
• If you heat it too fast, or don't still it will separate.
• The mayo will forgive some sins, but not many, so stir!
• This will make a THICK sauce.
• More mayo will thin it some.
• Milk can thin it if it is too strong.

• Remove sauce from heat and stir in olives, cheese and thyme.
• Arrange steaks on warm plates and top with sauce.
