When I saw this #SundaySupper I had no idea what to make. I knew it wasn’t going to be Tuna Noodle Casserole, not that there is anything wrong with that, it just wasn’t where I wanted to go with this.
Instead of decreasing ingredients to make it work for this #SundaySupper I wanted to up the game!! Flipping through Fine Cooking magazine gave me exactly what I wanted to do.
Taking a simple steak and making it out of this world!! I tweaked it slightly and I give you this divine steak that will make it seem like you fussed all day but actually you can pull this together in no time!!
And you don’t have to stand outside and freeze you tuckus off in those winter months barbecuing. Salt and pepper are free and the parsley is an optional ingredient. Accompany with simple boiled potatoes and asparagus if you like. Enjoy!!!

The addition of pecans is awesome! I can never have enough good recipes with meat. Have a nice sunday Tara!

Wow, like a whole meal all on top of that steak. You are right, looks like you slaved away in the kitchen all day. This would be great for a dinner party, leaves you more time to mingle with your guests.
Cheers!

This is EXACTLY what I would want on my steak. I’ve seen less appealing steaks at restaurants! Gorgeous Tara!

I love the idea of the Stilton and pecan topping! And we have some pecans in the freezer at the moment. And it’s been ages since we’ve had steak. Hmmm . . . 😉 Really nice recipe with great flavors. Thanks so much.

Laura Hunter says
My husband LOVES stilton and pecans. I have been trying really hard to develop a taste for stilton but haven’t succeeded yet. But I am always willing to try and making this would make my husband so happy so I might have to plan a special meal for him. 🙂
veronica gantley says
Stilton and beef go well together. It is something that almost everyone has in the pantry. IT would make a quick week night meal.
