Blue Cheese Crusted Steak
 
 
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 sirloin or tenderloin steaks (4-6 ounces each)
  • Salt and pepper
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the panko, blue cheese, parsley and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  3. In a large cast iron pan or oven safe pan (see note) heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the steaks all over with salt and pepper then sear the meat for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the steaks from the heat and top with the panko mixture. Transfer the steaks to the oven to finish cooking, about 6 minutes. For medium, the internal temperature should be 140 degrees F. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
If you don’t have an oven safe pan, cook on the stove-top in sauté pan then transfer to a baking sheet or baking dish for the oven step.
