- ¼ cup finely diced Manchego cheese
- ¼ cup diced purple onion
- ¼ cup chopped kalamata olives
- ¼ cup diced red pepper
- 4 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. instant minced onion
- ½ tsp. seasoned salt
- ½ tsp. spicy Montreal steak seasoning
- ¼ tsp. garlic pepper
- ¼ tsp. seasoned pepper
- 2 New York strip steaks (about 8 oz., ea.)
Preheat Black & Decker® Toaster Oven on broil.
In a small bowl, combine first 4 ingredients; add 3 tbsp. olive oil and blend well. Let stand at room temperature while preparing steaks.
In another small bowl, combine minced onion, salt, steak seasoning, peppers and remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil; blend well. Brush half seasoning mixture evenly over one side of steak.
Place steak, seasoned side up, on ungreased broil/bake pan and broil for 8 minutes.
Half way through cooking, remove steaks from oven. Turn over and brush steaks with remaining seasoning mixture.
Return steaks to oven; close door and continue cooking to desired doneness.
Tent loosely with foil and let beef stand for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Serve steak topped with olive mixture. Add cooked rice and a mixed green salad for an easy yet elegant dinner.
Makes 2 servings.
Note: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak to test the doneness:
120º to 125ºF for rare; 135º to 145ºF for medium.
