Black and Bleu Steaks

We were having a few people over for dinner last weekend, and I wanted to kick up our usual steaks. I decided to make these Black & Bleu Steaks – USDA Prime Filets coated in fresh cracked black pepper, stuffed with bleu cheese and marinated in our favorite marinade. I was worried that stuffing the bleu cheese inside the steaks would be difficult (I’ve never stuffed steaks with bleu cheese before). Well, it wasn’t difficult at all! I cut a slit in the side of the steaks, pressed the bleu cheese crumbles together and stuffed it right inside. Super easy. It didn’t come out when we grilled the steaks either! Success.

Our secret ingredient in the steak marinade is Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce. Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce is a blend of traditionally brewed soy sauce, wine, and spices. It has the depth and flavor that makes it an ideal marinade or brush-on sauce, right from the bottle. We like to use it in combination with Worcestershire sauce for a super simple and delicious steak marinade. It gave the steaks the most amazing flavor! Everyone cleaned their plates! CRAZY good! Honestly, a thousand times better than most steakhouses!

The steaks can marinade all day in the fridge. I say the longer the better! I stuffed the steaks with bleu cheese right before we put them on the grill. I can’t recommend these steaks enough. The flavor was fantastic! The Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce really put the flavor over the top. I can’t wait to make them again!

Black and Bleu Steaks
serves 4
(Printable Recipe)

• 4 (8-oz) steaks
• 2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
• ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce (½ cup = 8 tbsp = 2 tbsp / serving)
• ½ cup bleu cheese crumbles

Coat both sides of steaks with freshly cracked black pepper. Place steaks in a large resealable plastic bag. Whisk together Worcestershire sauce and Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce. Pour over steaks, turning to coat well. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, up to overnight for more flavor. Turn steaks occasionally.

Prepare grill. Remove steaks from resealable plastic bag. Cut a 2-inch slit into side of the steak – do NOT cut all the way through the steak. Stuff each steak with 2 Tablespoons of bleu cheese.

Cook steaks on grill until they have reached the desired doneness.
