Ingredients:
3 large onions, thinly sliced into rings |
3 tablespoon(s) butter |
12 garlic cloves, minced |
4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each) |
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt |
1/4 teaspoon(s) pepper |
1 loaf(s) (10-1/2 ounces) french bread baguette, cut into 1/4-inch slices |
4 ounce(s) cream cheese, softened |
1 cup(s) (4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese |
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt |
1/8 teaspoon(s) pepper |
Directions:
1. • In a large skillet, saute onions in butter until onions are softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until onions are golden brown. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
2. • Meanwhile, sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
3. • Grill steaks, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Cut into thin slices.
4. • Place bread on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 4-6 minutes or until lightly browned.
5. • Meanwhile, place the cream cheese, blue cheese, salt and pepper in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Spread each bread slice with 1 teaspoon cheese mixture; top with steak and onions.
