Gorgonzola Steaks

I copied this recipe from one of Kellie's cookbooks at Bunco. It was the most flavorful beef dish I've made in ages. We ate it with roasted sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli. Delish!

Ingredients:

8 4-oz cuts of lean beef (tried it with bottom round, too tough - I'll use sirloin next time)
4 oz gorgonzola crumbles (find in cheese section, near feta, goat cheese, etc.)
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp minced shallots
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp course salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 green onions, chopped

Directions:
1. Preheat grill and broiler.
2. Mix garlic, shallots, olive oil, salt & pepper. Spread about 2/3 mixture over tops of steaks. Grill for about 8 minutes or until cooked as desired.
3. Place steaks on broiler pan. Sprinkle each with 1/2 oz gorgonzola and 1/2 tbsp breadcrumbs. Spread remaining oil mixture over green onions and place around steaks. Broil 5-6" from heat for 3-5 minutes or until cheese and breadcrumbs are browned.

* Note - I don't have a grill, so I just cooked everything all at once under the broiler and it worked just fine. I used thin cuts of meat, so it cooked through before cheese and breadcrumbs started to burn.
