Category: Beef

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 6 hours, 20 minutes (including 6 hours marinating time)

Ingredients
1/3 cup prepared balsamic vinaigrette
2 dried figs, stems trimmed, chopped
1 pound sirloin steak, 1 inch thick, trimmed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 cup herb & garlic creamy cheese spread, such as Boursin

Preparation
1. Place vinaigrette and figs in a blender or food processor; process until blended. Place in a large sealable plastic bag with steak and turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours.

2. Preheat grill to medium.

3. Remove the steak from the marinade; discard marinade. Oil the grill rack. Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Season with salt and pepper, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, warm cheese in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often, until melted. Carve the steak into thin slices. Serve each portion with a dollop of the cheese sauce.
