Zinfandel:
The ultimate food wine
Serves 6
1 filet mignon steak
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp prime rib seasoning
1 french bagette
2-4 ounces artisanal blue cheese, softened
Season steak with spices. Cover the steak with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Heat grill on HIGH. Heat oven broiler.
Slice the baguette into 1/4" diagonal slices. Lay bread slices on a baking sheet. Toast bread in the middle of the oven for 2 minutes until lightly toasted.
While toast is warm, smear a teaspoon of softened blue cheese on each toast.
Grill the steak on med-high about 4 minutes on each side. Remove steak from grill and cover with foil for 3-5 mintes.
Cut steak into 1/4" thick slices to fit onto the toasts. Place a slice of steak on each toast. Serve immediately.
