Strip Steaks with Gorgonzola and Balsamic Onion Crust
Ingredients
- 3-4 thick cut strip steaks brought to room temperature
- Olive oil
- Garlic salt or your favorite seasoned salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
For the Cheese Crust:
- 4-6 ounces herb cheese spread like Boursin
- 4 ounces gorgonzola crumbled
- 1 cup balsamic onion jam if you don’t want to make onion jam use one finely diced one shallot instead
- 1-2 tbsp fresh herbs whatever you have on hand like basil or parsley
- Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Mix all the ingredients for the cheese crust together. Add enough herb cheese to hold the gorgonzola and fresh herbs together in a thick paste.
-
Bring the steaks to room temp. Coat them with olive oil and spices. Heat your grill or broiler to high!
-
And sear the outsides of the steaks turning as needed cooking to your preferred doneness. For us we did about 3 minutes a side for rare.
-
Then coat the top of each steak with 1 inch of the cheese crust mixture. Heat the crust until it browns and bubbles. I like to do this step under the boiler or with my kitchen torch (yes I have one and it rocks). Let the steaks rest for about 2-4 minutes before you cut into them.
