Men Love This Steak

If you are looking for a special steak for your sweetie, look no further. This takes less than thirty minutes from start to finish; less if you choose to broil instead of BBQ. Flavorful and easy, this steak is tough to beat. I serve this with brown-and-serve sourdough bread or rolls. If you're really hungry, crumble some additional bacon and add a baked potato. Add candles and a bottle of full bodied red wine (like a cabernet from the Alexander Valley) for a romantic evening.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons butter
• ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
• 3 thick slices bacon
• 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
• ¾ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 (8 ounce) beef rib-eye steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick
• ½ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 8 ounces small mushrooms, quartered

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Prepare an outdoor grill using charcoal briquettes stacked 2 to 3 deep. Season the steaks on both sides with steak seasoning.

Step 2

While the charcoal heats up, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Leave grease in the pan.

Step 3

When the charcoal is covered with gray ashes, put the steaks on the grill. Cook for 12 minutes, turning once, or to your desired degree of doneness.

Step 4

While the steaks are cooking, stir the butter, Worcestershire sauce and mustard into the bacon grease. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until butter has melted. Add the red bell pepper and mushrooms; cook and stir until tender.

Step 5

To serve, place steaks onto plates. Top with bacon, then blue cheese and then the vegetables. Serve immediately.
