Baslamic Marinated Steak with Blue Cheese Pasta

Marinated steak with blue cheese pasta

Several hours before serving have a couple of thawed steaks.

Cut into bite sized pieces.

Dice 4-5 garlic cloves.

 One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is a "garlic car".  You put peeled garlic into it and run it back and forth and then the chopped garlic comes out.

You need some balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil for the marinade.

Add several tablespoons of olive oil

Add several dashes of Worcestershire sauce

Add about 1/4 cup of balsamic vineagar

Add steak bites and refrigerate for a couple hours.

Here is what you need.  Milk, garlic, blue cheese, milk, cream, pasta, olive oil, black pepper, corn starch, and marinaded steak.

Heat some olive oil in a pan and boil water for pasta.

Saute 4-5 garlic in the oil.

Crumble a couple of cups of blue cheese or Gorgonzola (more is always better)

Add 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1 cup cream.  (I used non fat milk but you could use 2 1/2 cups of 2%) and blue cheese

Add black pepper to taste and simmer

After it has simmered 5-10 min add a little corn starch to desired thickness.

The steak should be done by now.

Put the steak on the pasta with the sauce and enjoy.
