Internet



List of Ingredients



• 2 Tbsp butter, room temperature
  
• 2 Tbsp blue cheese or Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  
• 2 tsp chopped fresh chives
  
• .
  
• 1 jumbo red onion, peeled
  
• 1 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
  
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  
• 4 beef tenderloin steaks, about 1 inch thick (about 1 pound)
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  
• 1/8 tsp pepper
  






Instructions



1. Prepare blue cheese butter by mixing together butter, blue cheese and chives in small serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate about 30 minutes, or until firm.
   
   
2. Heat coals or gas grill for direct medium heat. With the stem end up, pierce onion horizontally with eight 4-inch metal or wooden skewers, poking skewers through onion so they are parallel and at ½-inch intervals. Turn onion on its side and cut onion between skewers into 8 slices (skewers will hold the onion slices together).
   
   
3. Brush oil and Worcestershire sauce on onion slices and steaks. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Place skewered onion slices on hot grill; close grill and cook 4 to 5 inches from heat 5 minutes. Turn onions; add beef to grill. Cover and grill 7 to 12 minutes, turning beef once, until beef is to desired doneness.
   
   Top beef with blue cheese butter. Serve with onion slices.
