Cheese-Crusted Grilled Steaks

Mix until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate the mixture until ready to use.
Step 3: Grill the Steaks
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (around 400°F–450°F). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the Steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness. Rotate the steaks 90 degrees halfway through cooking each side to create crosshatch grill marks.
Internal Temperatures for Doneness:
Rare: 120°F–125°F
Medium-Rare: 130°F–135°F
Medium: 140°F–145°F
Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill once they reach an internal temperature of 115°F–120°F (they’ll continue to cook while resting). Let them rest on a plate covered loosely with foil for 5–10 minutes.
Step 4: Broil with the Cheese Crust
Preheat the Broiler: Set your oven broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Apply the Cheese Crust: Spread a generous layer of the prepared cheese mixture on top of each steak.
Broil the Steaks: Place the steaks on a broiler-safe tray or cast-iron skillet. Broil for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese crust is golden brown and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Let the steaks rest for another 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve hot with your favorite sides and enjoy immediately!
Pro Tips for Success
Room Temperature Steaks: Letting the steaks rest at room temperature before grilling ensures even cooking.
Use a Meat Thermometer: For perfectly cooked steaks, use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature.
Cheese Crust Consistency: Make sure the cheese crust mixture is thick and spreadable. If it’s too runny, add a bit more Parmesan cheese.
Watch the Broiler: Keep an eye on the broiling process to prevent the cheese from burning.
Suggested Pairings
Sides: Garlic mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, or a simple arugula salad.
Sauce: Serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a dollop of horseradish cream for added flavor.
Wine Pairing: Pair with a full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Syrah.
