You may have had steak in blue cheese sauce but chances are you've never had this. Try this quick and easy take on an old favourite.

Ingredients

1. 2 thick sirloin steaks
2. 2 tbsps balsamic vinegar
3. 1 tbsp olive oil
4. 50g creamy blue cheese
5. 1 tsp chopped fresh curly parsley
6. 2 tsps full-fat crème fraîche

Method

1. 1. Place 2 thick sirloin steaks in a large, non-metallic dish and drizzle over 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
2. 2. Meanwhile, stir 50g creamy blue cheese, crumbled, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh curly parsley into 2 tablespoons full-fat crème fraîche. Season with black pepper and set aside.
3. 3. Preheat the grill to high. Heat an ovenproof griddle or frying pan over a high heat. When searing hot, add the steaks and cook for 2 minutes each side for medium-rare.
4. 4. Spoon the cheese mixture on top of each steak and pop under the grill for 1-2 minutes. Divide between plates, scatter with more chopped parsley and serve with a mixed salad and some oven chips, if you like.
