Grilled Steak Sliders With Onions Blue Cheese Recipes

STEAK SLIDERS WITH BLUE CHEESE AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Make the horseradish mayo: Combine 3 tbsp mayo + 3 tbsp creamy horseradish. Set aside
• Slice flat iron steak across the grain into very thin slices. (Easier to do if steak is cold or using leftovers). Set aside. (see notes)
• Split slider buns and crumble blue cheese.
• Gather all components and set aside in a line: Steak and buns, mayo, blue cheese, arugula and tomato onion jam (or balsamic glaze)
• Heat and oil a griddle pan to 400F
• Brush olive oil on both the top and bottom of the inside of the slider buns. Add to griddle pan inside down and toast for 1-2 minutes or until golden. (Leave room to cook the sliced steak) Brush the top and bottom lightly with olive oil, flip and toast the outsides (1 minute)
• While the buns are toasting, add the sliced steak and cook, tossing with tongs occasionally until heated through (1 -2 minutes). Once warm, set to the side.
• When the buns are done toasting, line them up. Spread 1 tbsp of aioli on the bottom bun, add 4-5 slices of steak (see photo), top with 1- 2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles, then top with arugula. Spread 1-2 tbsp of the tomato onion jam (or 1 tbsp of balsamic glaze) to the top bun and place on top of the arugula.
• Serve and enjoy!

GRILLED STEAK WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, BLUE CHEESE, WILD MUSHROOM RELISH AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine oil, garlic, chiles, and lime zest in a large shallow baking dish. Add steak and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat. Remove steak from marinade, season with salt and pepper and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on either side until golden brown and cooked to medium-rare doneness. Let rest 5 minutes and slice on the bias into 1/2 inch thick slices. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place 8 tortillas on a flat work surface. Top each tortilla with 2 ounces of the cheddar. Divide the onions and steak over the cheese. Crumble 1 ounce of the blue cheese on top of the steak. Stack the tortillas to make 4 (2-layer) quesadillas and top each with the remaining tortillas. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of ancho chile powder. Carefully transfer the quesadillas to a baking sheet and bake in the oven until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Serve each with a large dollop of the Mushroom Relish on top and garnish with chopped cilantro and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.
• For the grilled onions: Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper and cook until soft and caramelized, about 25 to 30 minutes. For the wild mushroom relish: Heat oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until completely reduced. Stir in the vinegar, thyme and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Place peppers, onion, chipotle, lime juice and honey in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
