BLACKENED STEAK BITES WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
This recipe is similar to an appetizer served at my favorite Italian restaurant. It is a nice change from the usual appetizers and always gets rave reviews! I have used tenderloin in the past, but have found that a good quality top sirloin works very well and is less expensive. Bernaise sauce is a good alternative if you don't like blue cheese.

Steps:
- Season sirloin with blackened seasoning to coat on all sides.
- Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet on an outdoor grill until the oil is smoking. Cook steak bites in hot oil in small batches, reheating oil between batches, until slightly crusty, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Stir cream cheese and evaporated milk together in a saucepan over low heat to melt the cream cheese. Whisk blue cheese crumbles, garlic powder, white pepper, and cayenne pepper into the cream cheese mixture; simmer, stirring frequently, until the blue cheese melts into a smooth sauce, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve blue cheese sauce with the beef bites.

Steps:
- 1. Rub the seasoning into the meat (if you like it spicy, add more).
- 2. Heat an outdoor grill or melt the butter in a heavy iron skillet. When the skillet is very hot, add the steaks and cook to the desired doneness.
- 3. Note: If you cook indoors, be sure to run your vent on high as the Blackened Seasoning tends to smoke a great deal.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: For blackened beef tips, you'll want to use a tender cut of beef that can withstand the high heat of the searing process. Good options include flank steak, skirt steak, or tenderloin.
- Slice the beef against the grain: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it more flavorful.
- Use a flavorful blackened seasoning: The blackened seasoning is what gives this dish its signature flavor. You can use a store-bought blackened seasoning or make your own by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.
- Sear the beef tips over high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Don't overcook the beef tips: Beef tips are best when they are cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
- Serve the beef tips with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for blackened beef tips include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
