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.”

This recipe was amazing and, yes, my boyfriend loved it when i surprised him with dinner one night. I didn't really measure out the pepper. I just cut a whole one and a whole onion and threw in a few mushrooms bc we're not big fans of them. I was also a lot more liberal with the sauce and mustard. All in all, amazing recipe. I think I will make it again this weekend! It's one of the few I can't screw up! =]

I had everything chopped and ready to start cooking, when I opened the white paper to unwrap the steaks and they turned out to be pork chops. I went ahead as directed, except I used provolone instead of blue cheese, since it was pork. My family said they were the best pork chops ever! I agree. If it is that good on pork, then it would be really great with steak! Cant wait to try it again, with the correct meat.

Treated myself and my wonderful wife to this tonight. Increased the portions (8 oz of beef barely qualifies as an appetizer for this carnivore, no matter what the doctor tells me!), doubling the amount of blue cheese proportionately, adding a goodly amount of garlic (Q: What is food without garlic? A: Sadly lacking!), using all three vegetables suggested. Served with grilled garlic potato slices and a nice Merlot. My taste buds claim it doesn't get any better. Now THIS is how a man is supposed to eat!! ;-) *Great* recipe which I will serve repeatedly in the future - thanks for the submission.

Good recipe idea. It needed something to really bring it all together in the end so I added 1/2 cup of half and half and a 1/2 tsp of sugar. Fresh cracked pepper and a little fresh parsley at the end can go a long way as well-- then it became 5 stars.

Another new favorite for the boyfriend. For the most part I followed the recipe. Instead of steak seasoning, I just rubbed in some salt, pepper, garlic, and basil into the steaks. I knew the sauce was going to have a strong flavor and I didn't want the steak seasoning to compete. Due to the freezing temps outside, I cooked the steaks inside in the bacon fat leftover from the frying. When the steaks were done, I removed them (kept them warm in the oven) and sautéed some onions (don't like mushrooms) in the bacon fat/steak juices. I proceeded to make the sauce as specified. Though I forgot to add the butter, the sauce didn't seem to miss it. This recipe is a definite keeper.

As the submitter of this recipe, I'd like to clarify a couple of things: I use McCormick's Montreal Steak seasoning (but you can use whatever you like) and I use center-cut or other meaty bacon. Don't use fatty bacon, it ruins the ruins this recipe (and most others unless the recipe call for poor quality bacon). I like to use red bell peppers, too, it makes a better presentation, but DH thinks they aren't as good.

Greasy, but definitely delicious. Next time I will NOT use the bacon grease for the veggies, and Im sure it would then get 5 stars. the butter should be plenty to saute them.

This was a fantastic recipe! I added red bell pepper in with the other veg and because of the weather decided to grill the steak. First I crisped up the bacon and then cooked the steak in the bacon grease - I transferred the steak to a warm oven until everything else was done. My husband and I both loved it, he said this was the best meal he's had in a long time!

Great recipe! We didn't have any peppers or mushrooms so I took the advice of another reviewer and substituted onions. I caramelized them in the pan I used for the bacon and the worchesterschire/dijon gave them an almost onion-ring flavor. It was too cold to grill, so I ended up cooking the steaks in the same pan with the onions and just piled them up on top. The blue cheese gave this recipe a nice touch of flair. As we were eating dinner, my husband said, "The website called this dish 'Men Love this Steak.' Well, they were right." Mission accomplished.
