Herbed Blue Cheese Steaks
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon minced fresh basil or 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 3/4 teaspoon minced fresh oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon snipped fresh dill or 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
- 3/4 teaspoon minced chives
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon or 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
- 3/4 cup Cognac or additional reduced-sodium beef broth
- In a small bowl, combine the blue cheese, bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, basil, oregano, dill, chives and tarragon; set aside.
- Sprinkle steaks with salt and remaining pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook steaks in remaining oil for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; top with blue cheese mixture.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 12-18 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135u0b0; medium, 140u0b0; medium-well, 145u0b0).
- Meanwhile, in the same skillet, saute onion until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Gradually stir in broth and Cognac, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Cook until liquid is reduced by half. Serve with steaks.
