So you want to look like a bad ass on the grill....

Summer is almost upon us, well in Florida anyway, and that means pool parties, bikinis, corona and lime and my favorite, grilling out. Not everyone is a natural on the grill and that's understandable but it's easier than it looks to be the cool guy with the spatula and tongs. First off don't just make burgers and hot dogs, save that for game day "bro". I'm not knocking the great american past time of flipping patties and dogs on a hot day but they don't exactly wow anyone. If you want to show off your skills you gotta spend a little extra money and you gotta go big, steak big. There's nothing quite like a well seasoned steak grilled to perfection on a charcoal grill and you can be the creator of said deliciousness if you believe, and listen to me. Now I'm no Iron Chef Bobby Flay but i can give you a Food Network worthy steak.

 First off you're going to o need... 4-6 eight ounce steaks (filets are cheap at Sam's club)
Montreal Steak seasoning
Course black pepper
Cayenne pepper
1/2 cup of bleu cheese crumbles
1/2 stick of butter 1 glove of garlic
A small bowl
Whisk or egg beater
A charcoal grill
Charcoal

 First, light your charcoal so it gets heated up.
Start cooking by seasoning your steaks.Sprinkle the montreal seasoning on both sides sparingly and do the same with the cayenne depending on how much spice you'd like (remember you're adding black pepper as well).
Next take the course black pepper and rub it into each side of every steak. This gives the steak a dry rub that can cook flavor into the meat.
Now let the dry rubbed steaks sit at room temperature until you put them on the grill.

Next take the butter and bleu cheese out of the fridge to get them closer to room temperature.
Now mince the garlic finely and throw it in the small bowl.
Take the softened bleu cheese and butter and add them in as well.
Whip all of the ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed into a thick clumpy paste.
Toss the bowl in the fridge and grab the steaks, its time to grill.

Arrange the steaks on the grill where there's even heat.
Cook the steaks for 3 minutes on each side or longer if your homies don't like optimal flavor.
Finally throw some of that sweet sweet bleu cheese and garlic butter on those steaks for one last minute and serve em up.

 If meaty bleu cheese deliciousness isn't your think check out some of my pervious entries.

 Now grab some sunglasses and grill your ass off cool guy!
