Applebee's Southwest Steak
2 sirloin
steaks (5.5 ounce) or your favorite cut
4 shakes blackened steak seasoning
1/2 cup red peppers julienne cut
1/2 cup green peppers julienne cut
1 cup yellow onion julienne cut
Butter as needed
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Garlic granulated, to taste
1 slice Cheddar cheese
1 slice Monterey jack cheese sliced
Preheat skillet or grill to 550 degrees F. Shake blackened steak seasoning on to
one side of meat and grill to desired doneness, turning halfway on grill between
"flips" to achieve "diamond" grill marks.
While steak is cooking, cut onions and peppers. Melt butter and sauté onions and
peppers. Season with salt, pepper and garlic. Reduce heat and hold until steak
is cooked. For final minute of steak cooking, top with cheese slices.
Plate for service with onions and peppers and serve with your favorite side
dishes. Applebee's serves theirs with skin-on garlic mashed potatoes and garlic
bread.
