Scale
Steaks
- 4 steaks (Filet, Ribeye, or NY Strip, about 1 1/2 inches thick)
- SPG seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic) to taste
Cheese Crust
- 3–4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the steaks: Choose high-quality steaks like Filet, NY Strip, or Ribeye. Season both sides generously with SPG seasoning and let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Make the cheese crust: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, shredded Parmesan, chopped rosemary, chopped sage, garlic paste, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Dijon mustard. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Grill the steaks: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of about 115°F for rare. Remove from the grill and allow to rest.
- Broil with cheese crust: Preheat the broiler. Spread the prepared cheese crust mixture evenly on top of each steak. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and bubbly.
- Rest and serve: Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Choose steaks based on your preference: Filet for lean tenderness, NY Strip for flavor, or Ribeye for richness.
- Monitor closely during broiling to prevent the cheese crust from burning.
- If desired, add extra herbs or spices to customize the flavor.
- For a smoky flavor, consider adding wood chips to your grill.
- Ensure steaks reach a safe internal temperature if serving to special dietary needs.
