Beef For All Seasons



3/4 cup Roquefort cheese (about 6 ounces)
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped chives
4 sirloin steaks (each about 1 1/2 inches thick and 11 ounces)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

In a medium bowl, cream together the Roquefort cheese, butter, Worcestershire sauce and chives. Set aside. Season the steaks with pepper to taste. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the pan and sear until they are nicely browned on 1 side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn and sear for another 1 1/2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, turning once, until desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Preheat the broiler. Transfer the steaks to the broiler pan.
Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the steaks, mounding it in the middle. Broil just until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
