Stuffed Steaks

Ingredients

4 steaks, about 8-10oz each, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
4 strips of bacon
4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 of a medium onion, sliced (optional)
1 Tbsp butter or margarine
salt and pepper

Directions

In a non-stick pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from the pan, when cool, crumble the bacon and set aside.

In a skillet, melt the butter over high heat. Add the garlic and the onions, and sautee until soft, about 2 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, crumbled bacon, and the sauteed onion and garlic. Mix well, and set aside.

Season each steak with salt and pepper. Carefully cut a pocket in 1 side of each steak. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each steak with 1/4 of the cheese mixture.

Broil or grill the steaks on high, for about 5-6 minutes per side for 1 inch thick steaks, 7-9 minutes per side if using 1 1/2 inch thick steaks, turning them over once during cooking.

Remove the steaks from the heat, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let sit for about 5 minutes.

Remove the foil, and serve.
