Instructions
In large skillet, cook and stir onion in 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Place tomatoes in a shallow baking pan.
Add 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; toss to coat.
Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until softened. Lightly mash tomatoes; stir into onion.
In small bowl, mix cream cheese, blue cheese, garlic and remaining salt and pepper until blended.
Brush both sides of baguette slices with remaining oil. Grill over medium heat 1-2 minutes on each side or until toasted.
Sprinkle both sides of steaks with steak seasoning. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
Spread cheese mixture onto toasts; top with steak and onion mixture.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak on the menu? Try pairing with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. You could try Director's Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 21 dollars per bottle.
Director's Merlot
Our 2014 Director's Merlot offers lushness and a round, full palate. Its fragrance demonstrates red and black fruit with hints of anise and spiced wood. Juicy upon entry, the wine broadens and becomes velvety on the palate with flavors of plum, loganberry and black cherry accentuated by subtle spice notes of espresso bean and toasted vanilla. Medium tannins support the body of this wine, offering sophistication in its finish. Pairs nicely with brisket, grilled pork chops and linguine with pesto.
