Ingredients

For the steak:

  • 2 8 oz Certified Angus Beef brand Filet of Sirloin
  • 1/2 c. bourbon
  • 1/3 c. brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the caramelized onions:

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 2 large onions thinly sliced

For the blue cheese sauce:

  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 2 garlic cloves mined
  • 1/4 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

For the crostini:

  • 1 French baguette
  • 2 Tablespoons chives minced

Instructions

  • In a large container combine the bourbon, brown sugar, garlic cloves, black pepper, and salt. Add the steaks, turn once, cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Do not leave the steaks in the marinade any longer than that.
  • When you are ready to make the crostini heat the grill to medium high heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the baguette into 1 inch slices. Toast in the oven for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium skillet melt the butter for the caramelized onions over medium heat. Add the sugar and onions and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, place the steak on the grill and cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • While the steaks are cooking melt the butter for the blue cheese sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves, milk, crumbled blue cheese, and pepper. Stir occasionally until the blue cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
  • When ready to make the crostini thinly slice both filets.
  • Spread 1 teaspoon of blue cheese sauce over each crostini. Place 1 slice of beef on top of the blue cheese sauce and top with several caramelized onions. Sprinkle with chives.
  • Serve immediately.
