Day 3: Combat Steaks

November 5, 2008

The purpose of Command of the Grill week is to promote the book “Command of the Grill”, whose proceeds benefit charities that support Marines. I’m not making any money off of this. You can read more here, or follow this link to purchase your own copy. This is a really easy way to support our troops. Semper Fi!

This recipe is just so good, I had to cook it again this year. When I cooked it last year, I loved it, and this year is the same story. One bonus for the casual reader is that you can get this recipe for free on Weber’s site.

I have to give credit to Colonel Stewart Navarre, who took first place at MCB Camp Pendleton with this recipe.

Take some mushrooms, sauté them with some garlic, red wine and butter, then put them on an already delectable rib eye, bone in of course. Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles or feta.

Simple right? Yes it is, but it doesn’t taste simple.

The cheese is strong enough to kick you in the taste bud, but the steak isn’t overpowered by the strong flavor. I couldn’t find portabello mushrooms, so I used “baby Bella” mushrooms. It still tasted great.

Have any doubts about buying the book? Try this recipe and tell me it isn’t worth $10.
