1 -3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons dry white wine ( drinking quality)
1 dash ground red pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 small New York strip steaks (about 1 inch thick, about 2 pounds) or 4 small rib eye steaks ( about 1 inch thick, about 2 pounds)
fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup water
chopped parsley ( for garnish)
Directions:
In a medium skillet, combine cheese, garlic, wine, and red pepper over low heat.
Stir frequently until cheese melts.
Remove from heat and keep warm.
In large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, and cook steaks to your liking, turning only once.
(About 4- 5 minutes per side will result in steak done to about medium, depending on your cook top).
Sprinkle pepper over steaks, remove from skillet and keep warm.
Add water to skillet and heat to boiling, stirring constantly to loosen browned bits.
Boil 2 minutes, then stir pan juices into cheese mixture.
