Steak & Blue Cheese Melts
Juicy grilled steak and melted blue cheese are the perfect savoury match for a glass of cabernet.
Ingredients
- 2 thick sirloin steaks (or cut of your choice)
- 2 TBSP balsamic vinegar
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 2 tsp full fat crème fraîche
- 50 g creamy blue cheese
- 1 tsp chopped parsley, plus extra to garnish
Method
- Remove steak from the fridge about 20 minutes before you start to prepare the dish.
- Place steak in a large, non-metallic dish and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the crème fraîche into a small bowl, crumble in the blue cheese, and stir in the chopped parsley. Season with black pepper to taste, stir to combine, and set aside.
- Preheat your grill to high, and heat an oven-proof griddle pan or frying pan over high heat. When searing hot, add the steaks and cook for 2 minutes each side, until medium rare.
- Spoon the cheese mixture on top of each steak and pop under the grill for 1-2 minutes until warmed and lightly grilled. Divide between two plates, and scatter with extra parsley. Serve with a mixed salad, lightly cooked greens, or some chips, if you like.
