I don't subscribe to Southern Living and don't have the password to get access to their site to find a recipe. I saw a recipe while sitting in the dentist office that looked simple and pretty yummy that I wanted to try. I believe the recipe title is Grilled Steaks Balsimco (or something like that!) It is chuck steaks marinated in balsamic viniagrette and fig preserves then served with a melted herb cheese.

So, does anyone have it? I would greatly appreciate the recipe!!

Grilled Steaks Balsamico

Prep: 15 min., Chill: 2 hrs., Grill: 14 min., Cook: 4 min. These delicious steaks won top honors at the National Beef Cook-Off. We served the cheese sauce in hollowed-out lemon halves.


2/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette
1/4 cup fig preserves
4 (6- to 8-ounce) boneless beef chuck-eye steaks
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 (6.5-ounce) container buttery garlic-and-herb spreadable cheese

Process vinaigrette and preserves in a blender until smooth. Place steaks and vinaigrette mixture in a shallow dish or a large zip-top plastic freezer bag. Cover or seal, and chill at least 2 hours. Remove steaks from marinade, discarding marinade.
Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove to a serving platter, and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper; keep warm.

Heat cheese in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring often, 2 to 4 minutes or until melted. Serve cheese sauce with steaks.

Note: For testing purposes only, we used Alouette Garlic + Herbs Spreadable Cheese.



Yield: Makes 4 servings

Thank you so much Elizabeth for your quick reply! I will be making this tonight and will post my review for anyone that's interested!

You're very welcome! I would be interested in hearing your review as I've never used fig preserves in anything.
