Feta Stuffed Steaks

It had been too long since the last time I remember having asparagus, so I was on a mission to create a recipe that included asparagus in the dish.

Looking through my refrigerator I was a little sad since it is close to food shopping day so I didn't have too much to work with. What I did have were 4 mighty tasty looking steaks and some leftover feta cheese from another dish. I didn't want to just cook and serve everything separately  so I decided to try to make a 'stuffed' steak. The best I could do with my steaks were roll them, so that was just what I did. If you love feta cheese, make sure to have extra on hand in order to top the dish off for extra flavor, and serve these either by themselves or with mashed potatoes like we did! Enjoy!

• 4 3 oz Steaks (I used Beef Chuck Arm Steak)
• 2 tsp Olive Oil
• 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 Tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
• 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
• 2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
• 16 Asparagus Spears
• 1 Tbsp Lemon Pepper
• 4 Tbsp Feta Cheese
• 8 Toothpicks

Step 1: In a container, combine 1 tsp Olive Oil, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire, 1 Tbsp Montreal Seasoning (if you don't have this, a blend of black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne will suffice  just make the combo equal 1 Tbsp), and 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce to create your marinade. Place the steaks in this marinade for at least 1 hour (the longer the better).

Step 2: When you are almost ready to cook your meat, combine the 2 Tbsp Balsamic, 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice, and 1 tsp Olive Oil and coat the asparagus with them. Place the asparagus and liquid mixture in a sauce pan and cook on medium heat until the asparagus are soft (the softness is all preference, so cook them as long as you'd like until you are happy with them. Once finished, toss the 1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper on top of the asparagus and set aside. 

Step 3: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Take out another sauce pan and lightly grease it. Turn it to medium-high heat and once it has warmed up, start cooking your steaks. Cook them for 2 minutes on each side to give them a nice brown color. Don't forget to toss in the marinade as well so that the steaks can cook in it.

Step 4: Once you have cooked the steaks, take out a cookie sheet and place some aluminium foil on top. Place each of the steaks on the cookie sheet and lay out 4 asparagus on each steak. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp Feta Cheese on top of each steak, and then carefully roll the steak around the cheese and asparagus. Use 2 toothpicks in each steak to keep it together. Place the steaks in the oven and cook for about 5 minutes. Then take them out of the oven and let set for 1 minute. Sprinkle with extra feta cheese if you'd like. Enjoy!
